[mylyn-integrators] Update Task on ChangeSet Commit

["James Gajnak" <jgajnak@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I'm building a Mylyn connector for my company's project and issue tracking system, and it's been pretty smooth so far. Unfortunately, I've hit a hiccup, and I'm not sure where to go next. Our company's change process states that we need to update our system whenever code is committed to our source repository. Translated into Mylyn-speak, I believe I need to update the task and upload an updated context attachment on every ChangeSet commit.

 

I've been trying to find a way to do this, but I haven't had much luck -- my investigation has led me into thinking I should extend the CVS support CommitAction module, and introduce an event handler that I can subscribe to in my Mylyn core integration plugin. That seems pretty messy, though, and specific only to one source system...but I haven't found anything in the more generic Synchronization framework which accomplishes this.

 

Is there a better way I should be approaching this within Mylyn, or am I going down a rat hole with no good answers?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions you may have!
