Re: [platform-core-dev] Marker attributes question

[John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx]

The marker attribute declarations in the plugin.xml are only used to define standard names, and to let clients of those markers know what attributes are meaningful.  Their value is really only as a form of documentation.  Internally, you can use whatever extra attributes you want.  All attributes are persisted if the marker is of persistent type, regardless of whether they were declared in the marker declaration.

Am I allowed to set internal/transient marker attributes using
setAttribute(...) which are not declare in plugin.xml? Does the attribute
declaration in plugin.xml only come into play for declaring API attributes
and when markers are persisted?
