Re: [mylyn-integrators] Using public Mylyn API to automatically create t

[Eugene Kuleshov <eu@xxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

 This is indeed an interesting case, but under a slightly different 
angle. I've been assured that the present API is sufficient for creating 
new tasks. So, it seems like the following issue should be reopened with 
Alex's use case:

191395: [api] Make sure task API allows connector-neutral task creation
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=191395

 There is also bug:

196528: [api] AbstractRepositoryConnector.createTask() is not sufficient 
for creating tasks
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=196528

 regards,
 Eugene
