Description Shawn Minto

I would like to have api support so that I can specify the tabs that should be visible in the task editor for a connector.  My use case is that I have a connector that supports all of the items in the planning page, therefore all of the personal planning should be done in the connectors task editor and not in the planning page.

The current UI for the planning page provides consistency to the user, and having connectors change that in an ad-hoc way could cause more problems than it solves.  But it sounds like having common AbstractRepositoryTaskEditor support for showing local/personal planning information would meet your needs?

I believe that this would support my needs well.  I agree that having a more standardized page that could be overridden would be best to maintain the consistency that Mylyn provides in its editors.

AbstractTaskEditorPageFactory which replaces AbstractTaskEditorFactory in 3.0 allows connectors to specify ids of other factories that should be omitted when creating pages. Shawn, please take a look at the new API and reopen if you need additional changes.

Steffen, this support sounds like it will work for me.
