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!

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.
