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) The getTaskData() method is indeed expected to return the full details > of a task.

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?
