Plugin that stores and restores markers [message #208490]

Hi,

I am finding a plugin that allows me to stores and restores markers. Is
there any plugin available for doing that?

I myself have been messing around with code to do just that, for submission
to an existing plugin or the Eclipse core itself. Due to other project
duties I haven't progressed much on this I'm afraid. :(

If you do find something please let me know.

I guess one of the problems is that there would almost definitely be some
conflicts if we store the markers into a file that exists in the project
folder where cvs is used. It is because more than one person would be
updating the marker file.

I am thinking where I should put the marker file in if I successfully
created the mechanism to store and restore the markers. Idea?

Hmmm, team-shared markers. I hadn't thought of that angle. Just shows how
little thought I've put into the subject so far ;-). The Koi project
supports that apparently:

So if you don't want your marker files ending up in CVS along with your
other project files, it would probably be best to store them in "/eclipse
workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.yourdomain.yourplugin" to maintain
consistency with Eclipse plugin conventions.

Thanks for the tip. That's got my vote.

For anyone interested, here's a related bug report advocating marker
exports:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/votes.cgi?action=show_bug& bug_id=21407

Please vote for it because I'm a busy guy (or am I just lazy?). ;-)
