Re: [mylyn-integrators] lost when porting to 3.0

[Steffen Pingel <steffenp@xxxxxx>]

An attribute needs to have valid meta data to become visible in the attribute 
section of the task editor. Here is an example how to set the meta data (also 
see JiraTaskDataHandler.createAttribute()):

  attribute.getMetaData().defaults()
	.setReadOnly(false)
	.setKind(TaskAttribute.KIND_DEFAULT)
	.setLabel("My Attribute")
	.setType(TaskAttribute.TYPE_SHORT_TEXT);

It is important to set a valid type and kind. Framework supported Types are 
defined in the TaskAttribute.TYPE_* constants. Currently 
TaskAttribute.KIND_DEFAULT is the only supported kind.
