Peter,
That is really neat stuff. Though I wonder why you used views instead
of editors? There is a lot stuff to show and editors in Eclipse
workbench generally have more screen real estate available. Also, if
editors would be backed up by a data provider it may make it easier to
share planned tasks with other team members. I.e. using planning tools
such as XPlanner or planning metadata from Bugzilla or JIRA or even
file-based provider that would allow to simply send files around.
As for ITaskListChangeListener API design, is usually better to ask
that in the mylyn-integrators mailing list. See
http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/mylyn-integrators
Anyways, the listener API is actually very simple. The
ITaskListChangeListener.containersChanged(Set<TaskContainerDelta >
containers) method is receiving collection of containers that been
changed. Note that individual tasks are also containers, i.e. they are
subclasses of the AbstractTaskContainer. So you can filter individual
tasks by checking instanceof AbstractTask; categories -
AbstractTaskCategory and queries - AbstractRepositoryQuery. See class
hierarchy (F4) of AbstractTaskContainer for all container types. You can
also look at the other implementors of containersChanged() method
(Ctrl-T or Ctrl-Shift-H to open the Hierarchy view).
I am not sure about task list update slowness, but you can try to
minimize number of notifications/updates and only notify on the drop
event. If that doesn't help it would be a good idea to submit a bug
report with some more details about how you are doing notification.
Maybe even create small code snippet or plugin that would demonstrate issue.
BTW, there is more advanced Gant chart widget for SWT:
http://www.eclipse.org/nebula/widgets/ganttchart/ganttchart. php
There is also example snippet showing a week calendar with tasks:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.neb ula/org.eclipse.swt.nebula.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/nebu la/snippets/compositetable/DayEditorSnippet0.java?root=Techn ology_Project&view=co
regards,
Eugene

Well, you are right about the screen real estate. I use views because
the data displayed is collected from several sources and there is no
single element being edited (or that can be passed around). Using a view
you can simply open the view. AFAIK you can not simply open an editor
without an editable element.

Thx. I figured most of that out. I am a bit confused by the single
events and when they are fired. I'll check that and go for the
mailinglist if I don't get it ...

You're right. There is no point in updating while dragging.

Well. Since I am the author of the timebars I know the widget. It's
nice. But I won't say it is "more advanced" ...

Never saw that. Just tested -> I don't think that this a good approach
for day editing ...

Hi Mik,
right, it should be in the wiki (done). I'm a bit short of time due to
my day to day job, but I'll try getting this usable with remote
repositories.
As for the API: I'll think about improvements (and go for the mailing
list). I think a basic question is if the mylyn core should care about
projecting to working time etc. This might be off topic for the core.
Reasoning about observable pattern for tasks (or an improved
TaskListListener) or a more elaborated task interface might be possible
-- but: I think nearly everything is possible with the current interfaces.
Cheers,
Peter

Peter,
That is really neat stuff. Though I wonder why you used views instead
of editors? There is a lot stuff to show and editors in Eclipse
workbench generally have more screen real estate available. Also, if
editors would be backed up by a data provider it may make it easier to
share planned tasks with other team members. I.e. using planning tools
such as XPlanner or planning metadata from Bugzilla or JIRA or even
file-based provider that would allow to simply send files around.
As for ITaskListChangeListener API design, is usually better to ask
that in the mylyn-integrators mailing list. See
http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/mylyn-integrators
Anyways, the listener API is actually very simple. The
ITaskListChangeListener.containersChanged(Set<TaskContainerDelta >
containers) method is receiving collection of containers that been
changed. Note that individual tasks are also containers, i.e. they are
subclasses of the AbstractTaskContainer. So you can filter individual
tasks by checking instanceof AbstractTask; categories -
AbstractTaskCategory and queries - AbstractRepositoryQuery. See class
hierarchy (F4) of AbstractTaskContainer for all container types. You can
also look at the other implementors of containersChanged() method
(Ctrl-T or Ctrl-Shift-H to open the Hierarchy view).
I am not sure about task list update slowness, but you can try to
minimize number of notifications/updates and only notify on the drop

Maybe even create small code snippet or plugin that would demonstrate issue.
BTW, there is more advanced Gant chart widget for SWT:

Well, you are right about the screen real estate. I use views because

you can simply open the view. AFAIK you can not simply open an editor
