How to get change events through Mylyn programatically? [message #899799]

For my project I want to access the data from as many bug- and work-item repositories as possible (for development in Eclipse). Therefore I use the Mylyn plugin because it already provides a framework for efficient use of multiple sources.

If I found out right, the tasks are saved under

.metadata\.mylyn\tasks.xml.zip\tasklist.xml

and

.metadata\.mylyn\tasks\<folder>\<id>.zip\data.xml

. But I don't know how to access the data and get changes...

Is there a possibility to receive a notification if a task changes (e.g. if a work item status changes from CONFIRMED to SOLVED)?
Is it somehow possible to subscribe to the Mylyn event which shows a little notification if something changes? Or is there something like an eventlogger or resource change listener?

Thank you!
