Currently, the TASK URL is associated with the repository. The assumption
is that the same URL can be used to retrieve any task.

The forge I have to use has two types of tasks, TRACKER items, and TASK
items. TRACKER items are typical bugs and feature requests. TASKS are
individual work assignments. The URL required to retrieve a TRACKER is very
different than the URL to retrieve a TASK.

Given the current Mylyn implementation, it is necessary to define two
repositories, each with a different TASK URL. Unfortunately, since they
have the same host address, Mylyn rejects the request. It seems you can
only have a single instance of a repository. Understandable.

My current configuration specifies the TASK URL used to retrieve TRACKER
items (bugs and feature requests.) In order to define a TASK URL that
retrieves TASK items from the forge, I have to define a second repository
for the same forge (which mylyn objects to). To get around this problem, I
could

a) define a new repository using IP address instead of host name, mylyn
seems to allow this
b) define a new repository that specifies port 80 (http://host:80/..), this
also seems to get around the mylyn restriction.

A better solution would be a query specific TASK URL. Since I am able to
build a query that retrieves the list of TASK elements, using a custom QUERY
URL, it seems reasonable that I should be able to specify a custom TASK URL
associated with the query.

If this is already possible, please explain or point me to docs. Otherwise,
should I submit a feature request?

Michael
