RE: [mylyn-integrators] How to get TaskData?

[Avin Ismail <avin@xxxxxx>]

I saw the trac-connector example and saw that getTaskData() returns the data it gets from the server, not the task. So I implemented that and it gets the data from the server all right.

Now when I click on a task and open it in a taskEditor, getTaskData() is invoked and I asume (mostly because I can't see it any other way) that the editor gets its data (tex. schedueled for, due date, estimated hours...etc) from getTaskData(), but the data shown in the editor are still wrong. The TaskData variable has the right data but the task itself has NOTHING. I tried to use TaskMapper.applyTo(myTask), but that had no effect what so ever. The only way I can see to get the task Object itself to have the right data is to set the attributes manually. Which is kind of straitforward, but then I don't understand the idea behind the TaskData object if i would be setting the ITask/AbstractTask attributes manually anyway?!!!

I feel very comfused right now, can somebody please explain to me what's the right thing to do now?

Thanks alot in advance!
Avin

Subject: [mylyn-integrators] How to get TaskData?

Hello,

How can I extract the TaskData of a specific task? I am trying to
implement getTaskData(repository, taskId, iprogressMonitor) that has to
return a TaskData. Now I can retrieve the task with the specified taskId,
but how can I get the TaskData of that task?

FYI:
in PerformQuery(), I followed the example on
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/Porting_Guide/3.0 and created the task as
follows:

TaskData data = createTaskData(repository, id);
TaskMapper mapper = new TaskMapper(data, true);
mapper.setTaskUrl(taskPrefix + id);
mapper.setSummary(description);
mapper.setCreationDate(creationDate);
mapper.setDueDate(dueDate);
resultCollector.accept(data);

Thank you in advance
Avin
