[mylyn-dev] Extending Mylyn with an Excel File Importer

I have a customer that will have many bugs defined in excel files.  I'm
extending Mylyn to allow for the "importing" of the bugs from Excel into
Mylyn.  The end result is to get them into their Bugzilla repsitory.  I
have it working more or less where I import the bugs from excel into my
Bugzilla Repository (using the Mylyn internals and API code).  But then
it gets kludgy from there on since users would have to then synch up
their local Mylyn "Client" with the bugs from the Bugzilla Repository to
have all the updated bugs that were just in the Excel file that they
imported from.   Any comments on the best way to do this?  

I'm thinking a better solution would be to import the bugs from the
Excel file into a Mylyn Task List.  From there, the already existing
Mylyn code/functionality can take over.  


All comments welcome!



Thanks,

Vinnie
