Re: [mylyn-dev] Create a new element in an active context

[Steffen Pingel <steffen.pingel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

storing branch information in contexts has come up a few times in discussions. This is an important feature and it's great that EGit is driving this already. 

We should standardize the interface so we end up with a consistent UI and model across SCM systems. Manuel, could you please open a bug against Mylyn Context requesting that API and describing what you have already? We can then iterate how that is best integrated with context.

Hi,
how do i manually create and assign a new element to an active
context, if it is not a file in the workspace (like the bookmarks in
Tasktop Pro)? The reason is, i want to store some task related
configurations for EGit in the task context, but so far i couldn't
find the right thing in the Mylyn API.

I thought about something like

List<InteractionContextElement> nodes = new
ArrayList<InteractionContextElement>();
InteractionContextElement node = new
InteractionContextElement("meta/setting", "egitbranchsetting",
(InteractionContext) activeContext); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$
nodes.add(node);
IInteractionElement newElement = new
CompositeContextElement("egitbranchsetting", nodes,
activeContext.getScaling()); //$NON-NLS-1$
activeContext.getAllElements().add(newElement);

but i don't know, if this is right.

The configuration i want to store would be a list of Strings
representing Git repositories, and a String representing a branch in
that repositories.
