Mylyn/Gitea Tasks Connector : Gitea's issues management for Eclipse/Mylyn.

This Mylyn connector will allow you to connect Mylyn to a Gitea's instance (self hosted or not) in order to manage your issues from your local Eclipse instance.

The update site for the Mylyn/Gitea Tasks Connector plug-in is https://teilginn.github.io/mylyn-gitea-updatesite/.

## Thanks and Credits

I want to thanks and credit:

* pweingardt for the "Mylyn Gilab Connector" https://github.com/pweingardt/mylyn-gitlab, the "Mylyn Gitlab Connector" which helps me in my initial plug-ins setup.
* zeripath for the "Java Gitea API" https://github.com/zeripath/java-gitea-api , I used first to communicate with Gitea's instance before facing ssl and JDK 11 compliance issues. 

## Changes 

* 08.02.2021 - I'm currently working to make the connector working, resolving package and installation issues (plug-ins crash on eclipse start due to missing class Exception), then I will debug basic features (repository connectorion ...) before I will upload first code and binaries.
* 28.02.2021 - First connector version is working in debug in front of https://forge.chapril.org. I still have maven/jdk 11 generation issue. So I switch to a newly generated "Java Gitea API", OpenAPI based. 


## Planned Features

### Version 0.1.x - prove of concept

- [ ] use basic (user,password) or token authentication (preferred) 
- [ ] list and query for issues
- [ ] handles issues on a repository basis
- [ ] installation though update site

### Planned features

- [ ] edit issue - add comment on issues
- [ ] edit issue - close/reopen issue
- [ ] edit issue - change assignee list, labels, project, milestone
- [ ] create issue
- [ ] enhance query hmi - labels selection per list

### Missing features

* Password prompt (I just don't know how...)

### Won't be implemented

The goal of this connector is not to replaced the Gitea's web interface, so everything which is not Issue related or not link with what may help a developer in his day-to-day issues management 
like Team/Repository management and milestone management will not be implemented.
