I am writing a plugin that has an editor that is a form, not a text
editor. Eclipse has no problem with this. My question is I'd like to
just persist an XML representation of a rather complex object. I thought
about using the XMLEncoder but remembered that means putting sets and
gets on every property. I'm using 3M6. Here are a few other options I
could think of:

1. Use EMF to generate the XML and XSD and then use that format.
2. Write an adapter that can write out a format and then another to read
it back in (read: nuisance).
3. Use JAXB.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Rob

XMLEncoder would seem to be a problem as the different classloader used
for the plugin professes ignorance of the classes I want to write out.

Found the note on the Wiki about swapping in the plugin's classloader.
Doesn't seem to work for me; whole thing just hangs attempting to write
out a simple class (like JButton). On some other classes I tried it says
it failed to instantiate the class (probably not a bean).
