8. Persistent Markers with AADL Models
Eclipse provides a Marker mechanism to associate messages of different categories with resources (files). These markers can be of different severity, such as error, warning, and informational. Markers have a message text and a location into the resource. The location can be resource type specific. For example, line numbers are used for text resources, while URIs are used for XML-based documents such as AADL model in XML (files with the extension aaxl). The markers are shown in the Problem view when the resource is selected in the Navigator. When a Marker double clicked in the Problem view Eclipse causes the appropriate Editor to go to the location in the resource.
