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

[Avin Ismail <avin@xxxxxx>]

Thank you for the clarification Rob. TasksUi.getTaskData.getTaskDataManager().getTaskData(taskRepository, taskId) actually works fine for me.

Do you allso happen to know where the taskEditorn gets its data from (ex. scheduled for, due, estimated hours...ect)?

Yes, this is a problem. Although the TaskDataManager lies in the
tasks.core package, it is initialized and its instance held by the
tasks.ui.TasksUiPlugin.  Same goes for the tasklist itself. If you could
create a new bug report and prefix the summary with "[api]" we can
discuss options there. In the mean time you'll need to add a dependency
on tasks.ui to get access to these facilities.
