Re: [mylar-dev] Synchronizing RSS Feed with Task list
|
Anthony,
I wrote very simple Web repository provider, which is now reside in
Mylar's org.eclipse.mylar.sandbox plugin. It is using regexp-based
filtering to retrieve tasks and descriptions.
Currently it is implemented as a standalone connector but I am leaning
towards that it should be integrated with Mylar more tightly. Right now
you would have to specify repository parameters that are somehow
redundant and only used to link existing repository tasks by their id.
I've also suggested to implement RSS support but it would require 3rd
paty frameworks such as Jakarta FeedParser or Rome (both licensed under
ASF) to handle feed parsing. FeedParse can handle feed autodiscovery, so
it would be really handy.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/feedparser/
https://rome.dev.java.net/
Hey Mik, can you please request PMC permission to use FeedParser in Mylar?
Ideally it would be nice to eliminate need to have settings for web
repositories and just allow to create web repository queries even using
drag-n-drop from the web browser (internal or external). So, it would
try to autodiscovery rss feeds and if none found, allow to define
regexp-based query or choose to add an individual issue instead. This
drag-n-drop should also try to match url to the registered repositories
and resolve tasks from bugzilla or jira.
regards,
Eugene

Hello Mylar devs,
A while back I was interested in building on mylar extension points to
synchronize our company's
RSS feed (of issue URLs to home grown issue webapp.) with the Mylar
Task List. Basically I would
want to parse the rss feed and add the rss items to the TaskList if
they are not already there. We would
not want to overwrite a Task context for the same item.
I know how to parse the rss feed from our site, but my problems lie
with using mylar extension points. I am
new to eclipse plugin dev. (especially plugins that use other
plugins). Where would be a good place to start
looking in the mylar project on how to add to the Task List? I have
the whole mylar project checked out from
cvs.
Thanks for your help. If this works out maybe I can make this generic
enough to work with any rss url in which
case I will submit it as a patch if interested.
