| RE: [mylyn-integrators] help with displaying task in editor |
|
Hi Larry, We are always happy to hear
about new connector efforts and seeing them come to fruition. However, I
want to be clear that we cannot guarantee any response time on this list, since
Mylyn is a community-driven open source project that relies on integrators contributions
to the project both in terms of supporting each other and updating the
Ecipsepedia documentation with the knowledge they build up writing connectors. Peter had a great answer that
should help you get started. Steffen will follow up with another
pointer. It would great if you could document your experiences in our
Integrator Reference: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn/Integrator_Reference
For additional integration
services and the definition of our support priorities see: http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/support/
Happy hacking! Mik From:

On Behalf Of Larry Edelstein I've been working on a Mylyn connector and would like some
help regarding how to display my task in a task editor page. My connector
pulls down data from our database just fine, and I expect that pushing back to
the database will also go smoothly. I'm a little uncertain of my strategy
and tactics for displaying data in a task editor. I want to reuse
AbstractTaskEditorPage and the various AbstractTaskEditorPart subclasses.
I can see that I can configure my page subclass to use which parts I
want. So far I'm just using the page as is. But when I run my
connector, I don't see the data I expect in the page. What should be my strategy for reusing the page and
parts? Is it merely to make sure that I map the data from my database
into the correct attributes for the parts? If so, how do I know which
attributes, and which parts display themselves on the page (by default)?
By reading and tracing the code, I thought I had found the right parts and
attributes, but I'm disappointed in my results. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I have a demo on
Wednesday morning. Showing more results then would be very timely for
this project. If I can get some guidance on how to carry out the strategy
I've described, or a better one, it would really help. Regards, Larry Edelstein Senior Member of Technical Staff salesforce.com (415) 713-9148 |
