This would probably need to be broken out into a separate module, but a Mylyn connector would be way awesome.

To further elaborate, the server-side code should allow an admin to choose what node types constitute projects and which node types are issues. That way, the mylyn connector would work for project*, casetracker, STORM, CiviCRM, and pretty much any other task manager in Drupal.

There'd probably need to be a way to tell the Mylyn connector how to get to all of the needed data, but that's probably just a matter of defining a hook.

Server side stuff should be pretty simple - it's the client-side stuff that I'm worried about. I don't know Java, and I don't really care to learn it.

Man would I kill for Mylyn connectors...might be enough for me to switch back to Eclipse.

What if we take a different approach to this and simply implement the Trac XML-RPC API within Drupal. That way, it's just a straight PHP project, and we don't have to support the client side code.
