i'm working on a StarTeam connector, it provides SDK (Java APIs) to access
the server...

actually, i problem is the getTaskData signature only pass a String of Task
ID, and TaskRepository object.
as this method supposed, i need retrieve the full task details from server
for web/http access system like JIRA, bugzilla, Trac, etc. it won't be a pb
since they all have a uniform query interface by TaskID
e.g. JIRA: http://hostname:port/TASKID

but for StarTeam, tasks/CRs are stored under the folder, so the pseudo-url:
hostname:port/Project/View/FolderA/FoderB/TASKID

currently, i put the "/Project/View/FolderA/FoderB/" part in
IRespositoryQuery

go back to the getTaskData() method, i cannot retrieve the full task details
since incomplete context info (nowhere to get the path part)

yep, i'm also considering put some context info (e.g. path) to the
TaskRepository, which will be persisted into respository.xml.zip
and retrieve the context info via the TaskRespository attributes access
methods...

but, you know, it's the last option

If that is not feasible you could consider overriding

Oh? could it be a case that I handle a Task ID, which passed as a argument
by mylyn framework, but the corresponding task not in the task list?

One more thing, i'm considering use TasksUiPlugin.getTaskList() to retrieve
the task list, and query task by id/key with the methods provided by
TaskList.
but one pb is TasksUiPlugin.getTaskList() depends on the Mylyn Task UI
plugin, but my code (RespositoryConnector) actually lay in a Core plugin...

any suggestions?

  Thanks & Best Regards!
