If you click, for example, "this link to a task":https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=354302, it opens in a browser instead of the task editor.

David, how does WikiText open URLs? With the changes for bug 346046 we could easily open URLs in the corresponding rich editors if BrowserUtil.openUrl() is used.
Comment 2 David Green CLA 2012-02-02 13:24:30 EST 
Wow, that makes things much easier.  I've pushed a change to Gerrit for review: http://review.mylyn.org/#change,240

Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-02-02 17:36:58 EST 
The change looks good to me. Only consideration could be the dependency on Mylyn 3.7 that we removed some time ago. If it's okay to add that back we should also consider bug 365512.

I have opened bug 370504 to make the URL handler API work for tasks, currently it only works for links to Hudson builds and certain links to Gerrit reviews.
Comment 5 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-02-02 18:02:18 EST 
On second thought, this should already work. Since WikiText is using the TasksUi.openUrl() method we should recognize those as task URLs already so this shouldn't require any changes in WikiText. I'll take a look why this isn't working.
Comment 6 Steffen Pingel CLA 2012-02-02 20:33:31 EST 
David, the easiest fix would be to change the call from TasksUiUtil.openUrl() to TasksUiUtil.openTask(). The latter will fallback to BrowserUtil.openUrl() if it's not a task URL and the API is also available on 3.6.
Comment 7 David Green CLA 2012-02-08 17:01:32 EST 
with bug 365512 implemented, this bug is fixed.

Thanks for your contribution Steffen.
