Subject: [mylyn-dev] Implementing a new mylyn connector...
Hello everyone,
I'm implementing a mylyn connector/plug-in for th origo project (origo.ethz.ch). I already found the Integrator
Reference Wiki (
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn_Integrator_Reference) and tried to follow it
to implement a first, very basic version of the plugin which only retrieves
existing tasks. But unfortunately it seems to be a little bit outdated and the
javadoc itself is minimal at best. That's why I'm currently stuck at the
section "Implementing core extension points", where it says that you
have to implement the method "createTaskFromExistingKey" which
doesn't seem to exist anymore (there is only createTask in AbstractRepositoryConnector).
It also says that I have to use the "
org.eclipse.mylyn.tasklist.repositories" extension point which doesn't
exist as well. Instead there is
"org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.repositories" - are they equivalent?
Can any of you guys help me out here a bit and/or give me some pointers? I
already followed the steps described in the blog-tutorial at http://jvliet.blogspot.com/2007/02/creating-mylar-connector-plugin-for.html.
What I also do not understand: When I click on a repository in the repo view,
select "Open repository task" and enter a task id, how does this
interact with my plug-in? By that I mean which method is called to search for
matching tasks? Would this be the missing
"createTaskFromExistingKey"?
Thanks already for your help,
Dennis
