[mylyn-integrators] Implementing subtasks in a repository connector

[<Sebastian.Baer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

since the developers at our company are very fond of Mylyn, they asked me to write a connector for our configuration management system. I have the read-only features nearly finished.

Our system has change requests and below those there are tasks that the developers can write to have a more detailed view on what needs to be done for the change request.

It looks like this:

 CR#4711 Implement token login
   |
   +-- Task#13447 Web-GUI
   |
   +-- Task#14558 Web-GUI Test
   |
   +-- Task#14788 Business Locik
   |
   +-- Task#14820 Business Logic Test
   |
   `-- Task#15001 Document in user guide

As you can see the text in the Tasks is not usable without knowing the requirement in the change request.

I would like to use Mylyn subtasks in the connector to mimic this structure. The change request should be the parent Task in Mylyn and the CR tasks should be subtasks.

As suggested in the integrators guide I used the Trac-Connector to learn how to build our own connector. Unfortunatley im stuck at this point.

Could you give me some hints on what are the basic steps to make Mylyn recognise task hierarchies and show them in the task list?

Thanks in advance.

Regards Sebastian
