Need to integrate Mylyn's task activation time tracking with XPlanner's time tracking mechanism
Lower priority and dependent on Mylyn support (e.b. bug 181911).
I do not know if it is related but it would be nice to be able to report the time spent on a task into the xplanner task. That is the Edit Time->duration field in Xplanner. Actually, apart from completing the task I do not see any way of registrering the time already spent on a task. This is usefull for manger to know how the iteration is going on. SeB.
Yes, I can see that it would be useful to enter time spent into the task -- when we use it, currently, we just care about the estimated time, so we didn't really worry about the actual time field. I tried to implement allowing to change it at one point, but it was not a simple setting method, from what I could figure out, but a calculation. I will look into it more, since it appears more people need to use the ability to enter actual time now. I do think this is a separate issue, however, so you might want to add a separate bugzilla entry for it. Thanks - Helen
Helen: the Tasks framework will be providing support for this in the 3.0 cycle, and we can use this as one of the drivers.

We need to make sure the timing being reported to XPlanner comes from the global mylyn time tracking facility and not its own timer. If functionality is missing in mylyn then just create a bug report and we'll work on adding it together. >> 3.

Yes, the time on both the planning page and in the XPlanner editor would both ideally be updated via a listener and the refresh button eliminated. This should probably work via the existing ITaskActivityListener interface and the AbstractRepositoryTaskEditor could implement this. Unfortunately we can't change that interface since it is public. But something along these lines should be done so just let me know what priority this is and I can investigate further.
Sorry for the confusion -- there is more information in bug 211101, and that's the one I've been using to track information. Marking this bug as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 211101 ***
