Hi,

I working on some issues raised by users beta version of Industrial SQL
Connector.
See bug 184532: [connector] Generic SQL connector
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=184532

The people fields in the task editor have content assist.
How and where can I populate the names of the people to which a bug may
be assigned?

I already have an array of names of people to whom task have been
assigned in the past.

I have bumped into this as well and had to do quite some hacks to get a
dropdown. As far as I understand everything that has been passed to
TaskRepository#createPerson will end up there.

Cheers

Here is what I found after some deep searching:
- the proposals are prepared in
org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.tasks.ui.PersonProposalProvider
- the mechanism is that it wil loop over all tasks that share the same
repository URL and add the owner of that task
- there is no code to add commenters or reporters, or to query the
repository, or to interveane and advise in this process.

I created bug 291770: Allow connectors to advise on populating People
content assist popup
