I have a select box, where a user can enter a list of tasks. I have my code
working to properly get the task data using Mylyn. This was easy to do, by
the way. The API was great.
The only thing I'd like to do that I haven't is provide some kind of select
dialog that let them select tasks from a list. This dialog could work like
the Open Task dialog does, except I'd want to limit the tasks shown to those
from a specific repository. I'd also like the user to be able to specify
multiples.
So two questions:
1) Do you provide any Select Dialog like this that can be used?
2) I cannot find the API one would use to build this. I basically just want
something that can list all of the tasks that are known locally for a
repository.

I found TaskListManager after sending this. So I know I can do #2 easily
enough.

If you can query a list of tasks, then you can make a selection dialog
sort of like this:
* ListSelectionDialog dlg =
* new ListSelectionDialog(
* getShell(),
* input,
* new BaseWorkbenchContentProvider(),
* new WorkbenchLabelProvider(),
* "Select the resources to save:");
* dlg.setInitialSelections(dirtyEditors);
* dlg.setTitle("Save Resources");
* dlg.open();
You would just need content and label providers that work with tasks.

Thanks. Building our own dialog is not an issue, as we are experienced
Eclipse team. I just wanted to know if there was something to reuse, and if
not, what the data API was. I had looked for the latter and not found it
until I sent it.

There currently isn't a dialog that meets these requirements although
Willian Mitsuda contributed the RemoteTaskSelectionDialog
(OpenRepositoryTask) dialog and is likely the best place to start from.
That and the TaskSelectionDialog.

tricky and could be good to make commonly available.
193849: [patch] Allow filtering of completed tasks open task dialog
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=193849
That said, experimenting with your own dialog could still be a good
idea, in particular if you are able to couple to the new
FilteredItemsSelectionDialog API in Eclipse 3.3.
Just fyi, this kind inquiry is best sent to the mylyn-integrators
mailing list.
