RE: [mylyn-integrators] why is wiki preview in new task editor disabled?

Hi Dennis,

it's great to see that you are using the integrated support for HTML  
rendering in your connector. It was added last year by Xiaoyang Guan  
as part of his Summer of Code project and it had only been used in the  
Trac connector so far.

As Mik pointed out we are in the process of a major refactoring of the  
editor code which is tracked on bug 179254. It is likely that  
AbstractRepositoryTaskEditor and AbstractNewRepositoryTaskEditor will  
be merged into a single class along with collapsing all editor inputs  
into TaskEditorInput for Mylyn 3.0. This will allow better code reuse   
and should address your requirement to have the preview available in  
both editors.

If you would like to get a peak of the new task editor architecture  
you can take a look at JiraTaskEditor2 and the classes that extend  
AbstractAttributeEditor, e.g. PreviewAttributeEditor.

If you are interested in rendering comments it would be great if you  
could add your requirements to this bug:

 194269: display existing comments in HTML
