Trac has very extensive support for hyperlinking to different repository
artifacts like changesets and wiki pages. This conflicted with other
hyperlink detectors when Trac repositories were linked to Python projects. To
fix that I split up the Trac hyperlink detector. This bug has more details:
215978: limit extended Trac hyperlinking support to task editor
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215978
As Frank pointed out we are in the process of refactoring
RepositoryTextScanner to use the same regular expression based patterns for
hyperlink detection and syntax highlighting. Mylyn's extensibility is
currently limited to hyperlink detection but once bug 167941 is resolved this
will hopefully be unfied in a single API.
