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

[Robert Elves <rob.elves@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Avin,

Have a look at TaskEditorPlanningPart to get an idea for how these 
fields are accessed and manipulated. Some of these fields are internal 
so you may need to break some 'rules' to manipulate them. In these 
cases, look for an existing api bug or create a new one, to address your 
specific needs.
