[mylar-dev] Integrating Mylar with web repositories instead of the other

["Erkki Lindpere" <villane@xxxxxxxxx>]

After I finally started using Mylar for my real work (with a very
basic ChangeLogic integration through the sandbox's web repository
support), and Mik's comment in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162885, I have some
questions about whether it would be beneficial to develop better
generic web repository support...

For example,
Creating a rich editor for a particular repository (I'm not aware of
the status of this, is there a generic editor in development?)
vs.
Hooking Mylar into the internal browser to work better with the
repository's existing UI.

Is the latter possible? For example, could Mylar detect that when the
user is opening an URL with a certain content type or file name, it's
actually the zipped task context? And the same with patches.

Extra fine would be if uploading task context could be simplified
somehow, but I doubt that hooking into the browser's file chooser is
possible.
