Re: [mylyn-integrators] Adding content to a new task before it opens

["Shawn Minto" <sminto@xxxxxxxxx>]

You could check out:

 org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.bugzilla.ide.actions.NewTaskFromErrorAction

Maybe this is more what you want since it is more generic and works
with repository tasks.  You will need a separate action to run this
type of code though since the generic one will only (maybe) take into
account your current selection in the tasklist.  I have never tried
doing what you want to do, but it might be possible using some tricks
when listening for part opened events, etc.
