[mylyn-dev] Programmatically querying Jira using mylyn

[Stefanos.Zachariadis@xxxxxxx]

Hi all,

In the application I'm currently developing, I'm using the mylyn
tasklist plugin with the Jira connector as an interface to Jira. 

As part of the application, I need to set up some queries
programmatically (i.e., I don't want to go through the mylyn gui). Is
there a way to do that without calling classes and methods directly in
the jira connector packages? It seems to me that I shouldn't need to
know I'm talking to jira directly (not least because all these classes
are in an internal package), but I can't seem to figure out how. This is
how I'm creating queries now:

(notice that most of these classes are in
org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.jira -  is there another way?)

Thanks,

Stefanos



Repository r = getRepository(); //a custom abstraction that includes a
repo kind, location and credentials

TaskListManager manager = TasksUiPlugin.getTaskListManager();
final TaskRepository repo = new TaskRepository(r.getKind(),
r.getLocation());
repo.setAuthenticationCredentials(r.getUserName(), r.getPassword());
repo.setRepositoryLabel(r.getName());
Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {          
          tasksRepoManager.addRepository(repo,
TasksUiPlugin.getDefault()
              .getRepositoriesFilePath());          
        }
      });

AbstractRepositoryQuery inProgressTasks;

FilterDefinition filter = new FilterDefinition("in progress @ "
        + r.getName());
Status inProgressStatus = new Status();
inProgressStatus.setName("In Progress");
inProgressStatus.setId(Status.STARTED_ID);
inProgressStatus.setDescription("Items i'm working on");

filter.setProjectFilter(null);

ContentFilter contentFilter = new ContentFilter("", true, true, false,
        false);

filter.setContentFilter(contentFilter);

filter.setStatusFilter(new StatusFilter(new Status[] {
inProgressStatus,}));

CurrentUserFilter userFilter = new CurrentUserFilter();

filter.setAssignedToFilter(userFilter);

AbstractRepositoryQuery query = new JiraCustomQuery(r.getLocation(),
filter,
        "UTF-8");

manager.getTaskList().addQuery(query);
