Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2006-04-28 14:49:54 EDT
Repository provider for ical format (local or over http) would allow to integrate with external calendars, including Google Calendar (which has its own API for submitting tasks). 

BTW, ical format is practically an rss.

Rob and I have been mulling over this since hearing about the Java API for Google Calendar :)

I was thinking about this as well. I have found two possible libraries to connect to and iCal calendar local or on server:
- http://www.k5n.us/javacaltools.php under GNU GPL license 
- http://ical4j.sourceforge.net/ under its own non-contagious iCal4j - License

Because of the licensing I would prefer the second option, it offers a SAX like event parser for the iCal format.
What would be the legal requirements for such a connector for it to be included as part of Mylyn itself?

I am very interested in such calendar as well.  Our calendar is based on iCal and I typically store several tasks there.

Eswar: there are some calendar integrations for Mylyn already (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn/Extensions ) but I'm nothing based on the generic iCalendar format.  Do you mean that your calendar use iCal (the Apple application) or that it interoperates with the iCalendar format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar )?
