Description Eugene Kuleshov

We need to automate creating new repositories linked trough org.eclipse.mylar.tasks.ui.projectLinkProviders extension point. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Integrator_Reference#Mapping_from_projects_to_Task_Repositories

It seems like AbstractTaskRepositoryLinkProvider need some API for creating new repositories. Probably just return repository template instance. That would be used from [Add Repository] action in the Project preferences and also picked up by the New Repository wizard when project/resource is in selection.

TaskUI could also iterate trough all workbench projects on startup and ask link providers for these repository templates. But there are some performance concerns about this.

What if upon link activation if the repository doesn't exist the template is then used to create repository - credentials requested as per (bug#149607)? Kind of lazy repository construction.

Rob, not sure what you mean by "link activation".

We can trigger automatic repository creation from New Repository Task or New Task Repository wizards. I will have to look if it can be also triggered by the hyperlink providers. Though in some cases link provider may not be able to identify repository type, can only give an url (i.e. in case of Subversion info).
