The persistenceProvider element defines a class that implements the IRSEPersistenceProvider interface. It is used to persist the RSE object model to a form of external storage.

id - a unique name that will be used to identify the persistence Provider.
name - a translatable name that will be used to identify this persistence Provider in the UI.
class - a fully qualified name of the Java class that implements the org.eclipse.rse.persistence.IRSEPersistenceProvider interface.
autostart - The autostart attribute determines if the persistence provider will be loaded and asked to restore the profiles known to it at the time RSE starts.

<!ATTLIST property

name CDATA #REQUIRED

value CDATA #REQUIRED>

The property element is contained within the persistenceProvider element. Use these to provide properties that can tailor the behavior of a persistence provider. Each provider must document the properties that it expects.

name - The name attribute provides the name for this property.
value - The value attribute provides the string value for this property.

The following is an example of this extension point's usage:

   <extension point=
"org.eclipse.rse.core.persistenceProviders"
>
      <persistenceProvider
         id=
"org.eclipse.rse.persistence.DefaultRSEpersistenceProvider"

         name=
"Default persistence Provider"

         class=
"org.eclipse.rse.persistence.DefaultRSEpersistenceProvider"

         autostart=
"true"
>
      </persistenceProvider>
   </extension>

Plug-ins that want to extend this extension point must implement org.eclipse.rse.persistence.IRSEPersistenceProvider interface.

The Remote System Explorer in org.eclipse.rse.core provides a default implementation of this extension point.
