| RE: [mylyn-integrators] Trying to upgrade CodeBeamer connector to Mylyn 2.0 |

Hi Lubos, Yes, there are fundamental changes between 1.0 and 2.0.
Somewhat ironically some of the larger changes are a result of trying hard to remove
the complexity that you and others had to deal with when implementing 1.0
connectors. In other words, Mylyn 2.0 Connector writers in have in part the
troubles of you and early adopters to thank for the simplified APIs which
should remain backwards compatible for the better part of the year (we will
start working on the 3.0 release plan in July, but the next release will be a backwards
compatible 2.1). Regarding the Porting Guide, it should not have anything out of
date in it so please feel free to correct or point us at the stale entries.
The compiler and Trac source is probably the best guide. We made sure to
port a couple of connectors manually (i.e. they did not participate in
refactoring) and this is what we did for the most part, updating the Porting
Guide as we went. To answer your questions, hits are gone and AbstracTask is now for
both tasks and hits, so connectors do not need to worry about the
implementation details separating these two. You should also not need to
worry about manual handling of data. Here’s a quick draft of the new AbstracTask hierarchy that
I plan on posting with updates to the Integrator Reference soon. Please
do not hesitate to fire off additional questions while the updates are in
progress.
