Access to Connector instance from query page [message #66369]

How can I access my own connector instance from a query page? I want to
access the connector to help me populate widgets on the query page -
drop-downs, for instance. The connector is my access to my native task
database (or at least it provides me access to the client instance I'm
using to access that database).

But I can't see a simple way to get to it from the query page. It's the
connector UI instance (a subclass of AbstractRepositoryConnectorUi) that
is going to create the wizard and query page, but this class doesn't
provide any access to the connector instance.

Any ideas? Sure, I can create a singleton field somewhere for the
connector, and I may do that for the moment. But is there a better way?

You can get the connector through the TasksUi facade or extend
AbstractRepositoryQueryPage2 (available in Mylyn 3.1) which stores the
connector instance on a field:

connector =
TasksUi.getRepositoryConnector(getTaskRepository().getConnec torKind());

Development related questions are best asked on the dev or integrators
mailing list which reach a larger audience of committers and users building
on Mylyn: http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/developers/.
