What feature does this provide?
Also, I prefer to accept patches via git: see

e, but don't bother yet. Let's discuss the need, first.

A custom task scanner (for which neither URI nor File/Directory) works, wants
to provide additional tasks. Technically it is basically an in-memory archive
of a bunch of task files. Thus, PreferenceFileTaskScanner is a perfect fit in
terms of functionality.

So how do we do this without exposing the internal package and extending
something which isn't designed to be extended?

What about splitting PreferenceFileTaskScanner into two classes? An Impl in the
current private package and a abstract base in a public one.

Seems reasonable, but since I still don't know what parts you care about I
can't be sure. Do you have an example of the extension that you can share?

In my derived class I just override scan(TaskCollector) and re-use everything
else from PreferenceFileTaskScanner.

Could you possibly give me more information? Can you share the code? I want to
help you, but I need more information.

Unfortunately I cannot share the code at this point. What information - besides
code - exactly do you need?

This conversation is suffering from too many days-long lags. Would you like to
set up a video conference by skype or hangouts? I'll drop you an email.

For anyone else listening in, I've proposed a change that produces a new
extension point. It should work for Markus' use case. Version 0.3.7, in the
testing repository, contains the proposed extension point.
