Re: [mylyn-integrators] Query object in Mylyn 3.0

[Steffen Pingel <steffenp@xxxxxx>]

The attributes are persisited in the task list which is currently serialized 
to an XML file. Most connectors only store simple text attributes for queries 
or serialize all of the state to the query url (e.g. Trac). A simple 
key/value map was sufficient for these use cases (see also bug 199818).

What kind of object do you need to store in the query? Does it need to be 
persisted or is the query not part of the task list?
