Hi,

In all the TODO , FIXME, XXX tasks, I found that the type column un the Task Browser is always "Xtext Task". I need to change it to be "MyLang Task" For example.

I tried to override the extension in the ui plugin.xml to be
<extension
id="org.eclipse.xtext.ui.task"
name="myLang Task"
point="org.eclipse.core.resources.markers">
<super type="org.eclipse.xtext.ui.marker"/>
<super type="org.eclipse.core.resources.taskmarker"/>
<persistent value="true"/>
</extension>

but it didn't work out.

Any help?!

having marker subtypes and customizing TaskMarkerTypeProvider is not an option for you?

Need professional support for Xtext, Xpand, EMF?

I tried making a subtype for the marker in the ui:
<extension
id="org.eclipse.xtext.ui.Lang.task"
name="Lang Task"
point="org.eclipse.core.resources.markers">
<super
type="org.eclipse.xtext.ui.task">
</super>
<persistent
value="true">
</persistent>
</extension>

and overriden TaskMarkerTypeProvider to be :
public static final String XTEXT_TASK_TYPE = "org.eclipse.xtext.ui.Lang.task";

@Override
public String getMarkerType(Task task) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return XTEXT_TASK_TYPE;
}

and adding the binding in the UIModule to my TaskMarkerProvider. but now the whole feature is not working! What did I miss?

the task marker id is qualfied with the bundle

public class MyDslTaskMarkerTypeProvider extends TaskMarkerTypeProvider{
	
	public static final String XTEXT_TASK_TYPE = "org.eclipse.xtext.ui.Lang.task";

	@Override
	public String getMarkerType(Task task) {
		return "org.xtext.example.mydsl.ui."+XTEXT_TASK_TYPE;
	}

}

//or unqulify in plugin.xml and use "org.xtext.example.mydsl.ui.<unqulified>"
