Description Steffen Pingel

2008-10-31 23:04:30 EDT

Connector implementations follow common patterns which leads to code duplication. Each connector has a client manager implementation for instance to handle persistence of repository configuration and network connectivity: JiraClientManager, TracClientManager and BugzillaClientManager. These common classes should be extracted into API.

I have added two new classes as provisional: RepositoryClientManager and AbstractRepositoryQueryPage2.

Wim and I have seen this as well when doing the Industrial SQL connector and have extracted a lot of functionality into an AbstractPersistor class that handles all Task, Comment and Attachment persistence stuff.
This allows an implementor to start with a relatively simple standard query UI. Maybe uyou can have a look at the code for the Industrial SQL connector as we have alreadysolved some of the generality issues.

Mylyn has been restructured, and our issue tracking has moved to GitHub [1].

We are closing ~14K Bugzilla issues to give the new team a fresh start. If you feel that this issue is still relevant, please create a new one on GitHub.
