Re: [platform-ui-dev] Why doesn't ProblemMarker implement IMarker?

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The marker objects used in the UI are
a cache of the data stored within the actual IMarker objects. You could
enter an enhancement request to have ConcreteMarker implement IAdaptable
and adapt to IMarker, and then you would still be able to register object
contributions against them.
