I've been working on a Mylyn connector and would like some help
regarding how to display my task in a task editor page. My connector
pulls down data from our database just fine, and I expect that pushing back to
the database will also go smoothly. I'm a little uncertain of my strategy
and tactics for displaying data in a task editor. I want to reuse
AbstractTaskEditorPage and the various AbstractTaskEditorPart subclasses.
I can see that I can configure my page subclass to use which parts I
want. So far I'm just using the page as is. But when I run my
connector, I don't see the data I expect in the page.
What should be my strategy for reusing the page and
parts? Is it merely to make sure that I map the data from my database
into the correct attributes for the parts? If so, how do I know which
attributes, and which parts display themselves on the page (by default)?
By reading and tracing the code, I thought I had found the right parts and attributes,
but I'm disappointed in my results.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I have a demo on
Wednesday morning. Showing more results then would be very timely for
this project. If I can get some guidance on how to carry out the strategy
I've described, or a better one, it would really help.
