In short you probably have to do the
following steps (same for any mylyn connector):
- check for the required connector
- lookup or create a MyLyn repository (see
TasksUi.getRepositoryManager() for both)
- create new TaskData (best see TasksUiInternal#createTaskData)
- create an ITask from the data (see
TasksUiUtil.createOutgoingNewTask(...))
- submit the task using SubmitTaskJob (see
TasksUiPlugin.getTaskJobFactory().createSubmitTaskJob(...)
However, that's just the basic flow. I remember that we had to add
a lot of extra code that is also done by mylyn internally.
But it should help you to get stated. if you get stuck, just check
how MyLyn is doing it by intercepting at certain point in time
e.g. after Submit button was pressed in the editor).
One hint: some task repositories - and I think Jira is one of them
- require a "project" attribute to be set when creating the task.
That is typically handled when creating the task via the UI, so
the Jira specific MyLyn stuff but when you do it via plain MyLyn
API, its more difficult and you have to do it yourself. You of
course may use the Jira mylyn connector which probably reveals
more functions then generic MyLyn API.

Hi Jan,
thanks for aswer. To be more accurate, I don't need it to be
connector independent. I just need to be able to connect to both
Jira and Bugzilla. So, editing the question, is there a way to
praogrammatically connect my plugin to Jira and a way to p.
connect to Bugzilla?

Mario,
we started with a similar objective quite a while ago with
MyLyn
3.6 and managed it only by using unofficial API and by
partially
copying and changing code like the SubmitTaskJob. Our
biggest
problem was to do it connector independent. Not sure whether
it
can be done more elegant using newer versions of mylyn.
Still interested in any results of your discussion ;-)

Hi,
I've been working for some time on a plugin, trying to
programmatically create issues from errors given by other
plugins
(this part is solved) and send them to systems like Jira or
Bugzilla. Unfortunately I'm not able to find any way to do
this.
So, here is my question. Is there a "correct" way to
programmatically create issues (using Mylyn API), send them
to
Jira or Bugzilla?
Many thanks for any hint or advice,
Mario
