fetch egit Mylyn connector active tasks from another class

Question

I need to know if there is any task activated in the task List While adding files for Git staging?

Edited:

The idea i am looking for is, while doing staging of files, I need to identify if there is an selected task by code from the Git StagingView class?

Any ideas?

If you want to see the active task without having the Task List view open, you can enable the task window trim. Go to Window/Preferences/Mylyn/Tasks and check "Show active task on window trim".

Other than that, Mylyn will fill in the commit message in the Git Staging view if it's empty every time a refresh happens on the repository and a task is active.

Edit: For programmatic access, have a look at the org.eclipe.mylyn.tasks.ui plug-in. The class TasksUi serves as an entry point, giving you access to all high-level task API classes. What you are looking for is found in ITaskActivityManager:

   ITaskActivityManager activityManager = TasksUi.getTaskActivityManager();
   ITask activeTask = activityManager.getActiveTask();
