[mylyn-dev] Task activation/desactivation observation

[Alexandre Mazari <amazari@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mylyn devs,

Thanks for the great solution, it helps me keeping focus on my current
task, schedule my work days and communicate with my fellow developers
via Bugzilla. Mylyn rocks. Period :)

One thing Mylyn doesn't provide in my daily routine process is the
automatic filling of my company time-tracking tool. 
Basically it is a way for the administrative service to know how many
over-the-bill hours were made by each employee. As a lot of us at Igalia
work remotely, it is necessary to report worked hours.
We use an in-house built but free software tool called PHPReport
(http://phpreport.igalia.com/) that offers REST services (well not fully
REST compliant but that's another story) to push accomplished tasks.

So today I was investigating doing a small plugin, sending data to
PHPReport at Mylyn task-desactivation time.
Sadly, I couldn't find a way to observe Task lifecycle from the outside.
Correct me if I am wrong but there is no extension point to push
ITaskActivationListener implementation.

Is there a recommended way to be notified at Task
activation/desactivation time ?

Thanks for your time,

Regards,
Alexandre Mazari
