Provides serialization facilities for IBM Team objects.

Requirements

Usage

In the case of serializing objects, it is pretty much the case that no "a priori" knowledge of the types being serialized is required. However, the opposite is true for deserializing. This is especially true for Eclipse with it's plugin/bundle classloading rules. Unless you happen to use Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered. Which this plugin does. To make classes visible to this bundle, use

	Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: com.ibm.team.repository.common.serialize

in your MANIFEST.MF file.

This is only required if you use Java Beans or IStructs. EMF classes should be registered via org.eclipse.emf.ecore.generated_package extension point so that your EMF packages are registered in global EMF package registry.
