Best practices for design job item

Input parameters in JobXML have to be implemented as properties in the design job item.
Properties appear automatically in the Property window of the Workflow XML Designer.
-
Design job items have to generate xml from the properties in the override part of the InputXMLContainer method.

Override the CacheMetadata method, so that the user gets notification on the missing mandatory parameters.
