Description
Steffen Pingel
Bug 217953 was the one I was talking to you about at ESE, Steffen. I guess this you folks are shooting for 3.2. here. By the way, your project plan is off because 3.1 is March 4th and 3.2 is March 2nd. :) http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=tools.mylyn#release_milestones Unfortunately we can't commit for 3.1 to improve the import/export API due to limited resources. Thanks for pointing out the error in the plan. I have fixed the date. A two day release cycle seems a bit ambitious considering how many bugs are scheduled for the milestone already :). Due to time constraints we are unable to provide import/export functionality for tasks in the Mylyn project. The current implementation has several short comings that can cause data loss and dead locks. Therefore it was decided to drop import/export for tasks and to support backup/restore of the entire task list and import/export for queries only. Created attachment 124124 [details]
