Re: [mylyn-integrators] API instead of Internals

[Steffen Pingel <steffen.pingel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The task list is only accessible through internals at the moment. You can add yourself to the CC of this bug to monitor progress for providing a task list API: 

 239994: [api] provide access to task list
 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=239994

It is possible to create tasks using the Mylyn tasks core API. I have committed an example to the org.eclipse.mylyn.examples.jira project which should work for Bugzilla with minor modifications. Here is the relevant part of the source:

            TaskData taskData = new TaskData(dataHandler.getAttributeMapper(repository), repository.getConnectorKind(),
                    repository.getRepositoryUrl(), "");
            TaskMapping mapping = new TaskMapping() {
                @Override
                public String getProduct() {
                    return "SCRATCH";
                }

                @Override
                public String getSummary() {
                    return "Issue created by JiraCreateIssueExample";
                }
            };

            System.out.println("Initializing project...");
            dataHandler.initializeTaskData(repository, taskData, mapping, null);
            System.out.println("Applying attributes...");
            connector.getTaskMapping(taskData).merge(mapping);

            System.out.println("Creating issue...");
            RepositoryResponse response = dataHandler.postTaskData(repository, taskData, null, null);

I'm trying to get away from using internals but I can't find the API
equivalent for many things.

I need to do a 2 main things programmatically:
1. Create a TaskList that shows up on the Mylyn TaskList UI
2. Create/Modify Tasks on a Bugzilla server.

Any help on showing me the API equivalent of the below internals would
be very helpful:



//BugzillaRepositoryConnector is internal
BugzillaRepositoryConnector connector;

//TasksUiPlugin.getDefault() is internal
TasksUiPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore().setValue(
ITasksUiPreferenceConstants.REPOSITORY_SYNCH_SCHEDULE_ENABLED,
false);

//TasksUiPlugin.getRepositoryManager() is internal
manager = TasksUiPlugin.getRepositoryManager();

//internal
manager.addRepository(repository);
TaskList taskList = TasksUiPlugin.getTaskList();

// manager.getRepositoryConnector is internal
AbstractRepositoryConnector abstractRepositoryClient =
manager.getRepositoryConnector(BugzillaCorePlugin.CONNECTOR_KIND);

//BugzillaRepositoryConnector is internal
connector = (BugzillaRepositoryConnector) abstractRepositoryClient;


//connector.getTaskData() is internal
connector.getTaskData(repository, existingTaskId,
new NullProgressMonitor());

//how to create a task w/o using internals?
TasksUiInternal.createTaskData(repository,
 taskMappingInit, taskMappingSelect, null);

//TaskCategory is internal
TaskCategory taskCategory = new TaskCategory(taskCategoryName);

//all internal
connector.getTaskDataHandler().initializeTaskData(repository,
taskDataNew[0],                                                 new DefaultTaskMapping(), new
NullProgressMonitor());
