Description Benjamin Muskalla

Each connector should be able to provide Mylyn with a list of repository persons. This can be used to fill the content assist for person fields in case the field has no options. Another benefit would be that headless users of connectors can validate user input based on the list of known users. The API should be non-abstract and return an empty set as not all repositories support this.

My suggestion would be @AbstractRepositoryConnector.getRepositoryPersons(TaskRepository)@

I am wondering if we should consider this part of repository configuration data or whether it makes more sense to provide a cache on the framework level for identities?  Do you have a concrete example for an implementation?

I know that Rally has a defined set of users from the repository that are managed as a part of the configuration so that only valid users can be selected in user fields.

This is now supported for specific attributes at least but it sounds reasonable to support this on a per repository level as well. Feel free to propose a concrete API for this functionality.
