Build Identifier: According to my mail to the list and the answer of Steffen (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/mylyn-dev/msg01249.html) i would request a new API to store task related SCM configuration in the Mylyn context. For example store the SCM repositories and the branches, which are needed to work on a task, so that the branches can be automatically checked out on task activation. I did a first basic implementation for EGit, without storing the information in the context (http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,2609). The information i would need at the moment in the context would be a unique identifier for the repository and the branchname (multiple entries for multiple repositories should be possible). I think, the identifier of the repository should be determined by the particular SCM plugins, it could be a name or a url of a remote repository (for EGit maybe the URL of the remote named origin, if it exists). Reproducible: Always
Thanks for the feature request. This is an interesting idea and I think the context is a good place to track branch information. Shawn, what are your thoughts on this, how we can best store information of that kind in the context? I have also added this as a discussion item for next weeks call: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/Meetings. Manuel, please feel free to join if the time works for you.
After the meeting yesterday, i will try to sum up, what i understood (i didn't understand everything, because of bad acoustical quality and some accents). - The way to store the branch and repository information would be to use the Team Provider API to generate a PSF - That PSF would then be stored in the zip file beside the context xml What need to be implemented? - Of course the support for PSF in EGit (i will watch the actual review changeset and if necessary help to improve it) - The ability to store the PSF in the zip - And last the EGit-Mylyn-Plugin to call these APIs Did i get that right? Please correct me, if i'm wrong or missed something.
Created attachment 197241 [details] Ability to store a file in the context zip Doesn't work yet - only for discussing in the Mylyn meeting.

You may have a look at the new ContextContributor-API which was merged yesterday. I think this might fit your needs as it allows to store additional files to the context zip file: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/6052/
