###### Examples:

The following is an example of a marker resolution generator extension (note the sub-element and the way attributes are used):

     <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.ide.markerResolution">
      <markerResolutionGenerator
       class="org.eclipse.ui.examples.readmetool.ReadmeMarkerResolutionGenerator"
       markerType="org.eclipse.ui.examples.readmetool.readmemarker">
       <attribute name="org.eclipse.ui.examples.readmetool.id" value="1234"/>
      </markerResolutionGenerator>
     </extension>

In the example above, a marker resolution generator is associated with markers of type org.eclipse.ui.examples.readmetool.readmemarker whose org.eclipse.ui.examples.redmetool.id attribute has a value of 1234.

More than one marker resolution generator may be supplied for a given marker as long as the target attributes are different by name or value.
