Re: [mylyn-integrators] how to get ITask object from task ID?

The getTaskData() method is indeed expected to return the full details
of a task. I would recommend encoding all relevant information
required to retrieve the task  into the task id or store it on the
TaskRepository object if it's not specific to a task.

If that is not feasible you could consider overriding
AbstractRepositoryConnector.canSynchronizeTask() and return false. If
you ensure that performQuery() always returns non partial task data
you should still be able to leverage almost all functionality of the
framework. One limitation is that looking up repository tasks by id
will not work unless a task is already in the task list.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of connector are you working on?
