Re: [mylyn-integrators] Adding content to a new task before it opens

[John Anvik <janvik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Shawn.

That will work for my current need, however I was aiming for something 
that made better reuse of the existing Mylyn code.

My thought was to extend the NewTaskAction and use it's run method since 
it looks to handle the cases of new local task vs. new repository task 
so nicely (admittedly I haven't explored new repository tasks yet, so 
maybe this won't really work in the end).

This is what motivated my question about being able to catch an "a new 
task editor is about to open" event so that I could squeeze in there and 
add some content. Is this possible?

If not, I can use the existing the code from NewTaskAction as a model 
and create separate actions for the two cases or mimic what is done there.
