Re: [mylyn-integrators] using mylyn programmatically
"Jira mylyn connector" is currently known as "Atlassian Connector for Eclipse". It does not expose official API but you might of course try to reuse/intercept its calls.

When creating an issue JIRA expects "project", "issue type", "priority" and "summary" AFAIR. For details you can check the provided link: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/connector-eclipse/src/1635643f83857d49e3a4e32ff2db3a323e63d996/com.atlassian.connector.eclipse.jira.core/src/com/atlassian/connector/eclipse/internal/jira/core/service/rest/JiraRestClientAdapter.java?at=rest#cl-490

Cheers,
Jacek

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

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 ;-)

Jan

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
