Description elhanan Maayan CLA 2010-09-22 05:49:02 EDT 
unlike many connection profiles (such as databases) mylyn doesn't have the ablity to export and import task repo's it would be nice and time saving (incase of distributing to many users)
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-09-22 17:33:17 EDT 
You can export and import the Mylyn Task List through File > Import/Export or individual items from the Task List through the popup menu. You should be able to share repositories by exporting queries associated with those repositories.
Comment 2 Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-10-27 04:33:49 EDT 
I am marking this as workforme as per comment 1. Please feel free to reopen if the suggested solution does not satisfy your requirements and provide additional input as to how you would expect the requested enhancement to work.
Comment 3 elhanan Maayan CLA 2010-11-24 12:17:25 EST 
althougth exporting the queries does indeed export the url, however it does not export additional properties (the ones used in TaskRepository.setProperty(String) so it's only a partial export
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-04-05 14:52:24 EDT 
Thanks for clarifying. This should indeed be improved.

mean while i have to build some complex work-around in my qc mylyn connector, that's what mainly holding me back. (and building a ui to support that).

and should anyone be forced to create a query to export repo's ? in my opinion, it should be available in general export import of eclipse.

an additional comment:

when I export tasks and repositories from a workspace where, besides bugzilla repositories, I have also remote repositories that I access with web connector (e.g., for accessing sourceforge tracking system), it looks like repositories accessed through the web connector are not exported (the bugzilla ones are exported correctly)...  I note this when I then import the .zip file in another workspace.
