Hi all!

Is their a possibility to ask the user to enter his login/password if the authentification fails (or if he did't checked the "Save Password" in the Repository settings) ?

Thanks!

Yes, you can. Instead of creating TaskRepositoryLocation, use
TaskRepositoryLocationUi (created by TaskRepositoryLocationUiFactory),
which implements dialog like this in its requestCredentials method.

Thanks Peter for your answer, but it's in the internal part of tasks.ui (org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.tasks.ui)... so the access is restricted Sad

By the way, I think it should be a mylyn feature (so maybe I should open a feature request)?! According to me, we need a specific exception (such as CredentialsException) that can be thrown by the performQuery method and than leads to the opening of a login / password dialog (as it is done in the eclipse team plugin for instance)

Hello Thomas,

you can still use it through TaskRepositoryLocation interface, which is public and contains this method. You simply need to replace TaskRepositoryLocationFactory with TaskRepositoryLocationUiFactory, and you'll get TaskRepositoryUiLocation. When you call requestCredentials method, you won't get unsupported operation, but dialog which asks for credentials. Take a look at how other connectors use it. I use it in Foglyn, and it works for me.

Great it works Razz Thanks!

... but I needed to add an UI dependency in my core plugin (as I didn't found any relevant listener)...

What I do (if I remember correctly Wink) is to initialize my location factory reference to standard factory, and when my UI plugin starts, it reinitializes factory reference to UI factory (I am using final AtomicReference<TaskRepositoryLocation> for this). This way my core plugin doesn't need to depend on UI plugin.

Great :!::!: That's it!

Using the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point in the UI plugin, I can inject an UI class in the core Smile

Thank you very much Very Happy

Thomas, please feel free to file an enhancement request to provide a simpler
way to access TaskRepositoryLocationUiFactory from connector cores e.g.
through an extension point. It's a common requirement for connectors.
