Maybe some of my comments can be of help.
ITask is an object that holds just sufficient information to display
and filter the task in the Task List, TaskData is a container that
holds everything to be displayed in the Rich Task Editor. This Task
Editor is different for each kind of repository.
A new Task starts life as a local task (which it is it has not yet
been synchronized), but with the intended repository included as an
attribute. Upon synchronization it changes into a task for that
specific repository and gets form the repository its unique ID.
The sequence is as follows:
protected TaskRepository repository;
public void testProgrammaticCreation() {
try {
assertNotNull("repository null", repository);
ITask newTask = TasksUiUtil.createOutgoingNewTask(CONNECTOR_KIND,
REPOSITORY_URL);
assertNotNull("Task creation failed", newTask);
assertNotNull("Task creation failed - ID",
newTask.getTaskId());
MyAttributeMapper mapper = new
MyAttributeMapper(repository);
assertNotNull("Mapper creation failed", mapper);
TaskData data = new TaskData(mapper,CONNECTOR_KIND, REPOSITORY_URL,
newTask
.getTaskId());
assertNotNull("TaskData creation failed", mapper);
boolean success =
connector.getTaskDataHandler().initializeTaskData(repository, data,
new DefaultTaskMapping(), new
NullProgressMonitor());
assertTrue("TaskData not initialized", success);
Map<String, TaskAttribute> dataAttributes =
data.getRoot().getAttributes();
assertNotNull("TaskData no attributes", dataAttributes);
System.out.println(dataAttributes.toString());
Map<String, String> taskAttributes =
newTask.getAttributes();
assertNotNull("TaskData no attributes", taskAttributes);
System.out.println(taskAttributes.toString());
} catch (CoreException e) {
fail(e.getMessage());
}
}
You need the taskdata to have things show up in the editor.

Hi all,
I´m currently trying to trigger creation of tasks programmatically
through the mylyn api. I succeeded in creating local tasks in the
local repository, but failed for any other repository (I tried
bugzilla,but my guess is that similar issues will happen with other
repositories as well). I think I´m struggling a bit with the
difference between ITask and TaskData.
The issues I faced were:
The task initially was shown in the "uncategorized" container rather
than the "unsubmitted" container for the bugzilla repository. I
think this issue can be solved by manually putting the task there.
The interesting thing is that after a restart of eclipse, the task
is moved there automatically ;-)
Opening the task editor for this task fails and shows an empty
bugzilla page. Debugging into the code I recognized that there is a
NPE because the editor tries to access the TaskData of the task
which does not exist.
Currently, I´m using the API TasksUiUtil.createOutgoingNewTask() to
create the task. Could you give me some advises on this topic?
Especially on the handling of ITask and TaskData. Is it at all
possible to create tasks for various repositories using the
mentioned way?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan
