Re: [mylyn-integrators] attributes used for tasklist

["Steffen Pingel" <steffen.pingel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to implement AbstractRepositoryConnector.updateTaskFromTaskData(). If you are using the default attribute ids and types, a very simple implementation using the default task mapper should work: 

 new TaskMapper(taskData).applyTo(task). 

AbstractRepositoryConnector.hasTaskChanged() should be implemented accordingly: 

 new TaskMapper(taskData).hasChanges(task). 

If you have implemented both of these methods already, I would recommend to start debugging there.

Hi,

what attributes a task should have in order to show on the tasklist a
description like "12345 : This is a test issue" ?
Here 12345 is the ID of that task in the repository and 'This is a test
issue' a summary.
I create a task data object and create -beside others- two attributes
TaskAttribute.TASK_KEY and TaskAttribute.SUMMARY as follows:

public enum MKSAttribute {
   ID("ID:", "id", TaskAttribute.TASK_KEY, TaskAttribute.TYPE_LONG_TEXT),
   SUMMARY("Summary:", "summary", TaskAttribute.SUMMARY,
TaskAttribute.TYPE_LONG_TEXT)
...
}

createAttribute(data, MKSAttribute.ID, issue.getId() + ":" +
issue.getSummary());
createAttribute(data, MKSAttribute.SUMMARY, issue.getSummary());

private void createAttribute(TaskData data, MKSAttribute attribute, String
value)
{
       TaskAttribute attr =
data.getRoot().createAttribute(attribute.getMylynAttribute());
       TaskAttributeMetaData metaData = attr.getMetaData();
       metaData.defaults();
       metaData.setType(attribute.getType());
       metaData.setKind(TaskAttribute.KIND_DEFAULT);
       metaData.setLabel(attribute.getDescription());
       metaData.setReadOnly(false);
       metaData.putValue("mksKey", "mksKey");
       attr.addValue(value);
}

I do not use -currently- any TaskMapper or AttributeMapper. I refer the
original Mylyn attributes.

The result is always, that the tasklist contains my issues, but shows only
the ID (the number), but the hover contains the attribute 'Summary' with
the correct value.
But I want to see this summary not only within the hover. Also every
single task list entry should contain a line line "12345 : this is a test
issue".

BTW: It seems that I've already solved this problem because I saw the
tasklist exactly as I want. But this was illusion and not based on my
current implementation. If the file
<WORKSPACE>\.metadata\.mylyn\tasks.xml.zip\tasklist.xml already contains
entries in the correct way, then a new query is not stored back to this
file. I detect this behaviour during tests of the plugin with a different
Eclipse installation. The plugin produced task list entries withou the
summary. The same code, started by the PDE within a new Eclipse instance
and therefor with an exisiting tasklist.xml produces a correct tasklist
view...
Only by removing <WORKSPACE>\.metadata\.mylyn\tasks.xml.zip you can be
sure...

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
