Mylyn

Mylyn is a Task-Focused Interface for Eclipse that reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy. It does this by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA. Once your tasks are integrated, Mylyn monitors your work activity to identify information relevant to the task-at-hand, and uses this task context to focus the Eclipse UI on the interesting information, hide the uninteresting, and automatically find what's related. This puts the information you need to get work done at your fingertips and improves productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation. By making task context explicit Mylyn also facilitates multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise.

Install Mylyn with Trac support in Eclipse

In Eclipse go to Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install Search for New Features to Install Select Mylin and Mylyn Extras Press Finnish and select Automatically select mirror in the next dialog. Select all of Mylyn and the Mylyn Connector for Trac from the Mylyn Extras. Press Next, accept the terms (if you agree), Next and Finnish.

Connect to Rifidi Task Repository

Open the team synchronizing perspective in Eclipse: Window-> open perspective -> other-> team synchronizing Click on the add task repository button (marked by arrow)‏ Choose TRAC from the menu and go to next.

The Trac repository settings are:

Server: https://trac.rifidi.org/rep-external-trac/ You can choose a name for the Repository and put that in Label (e.g. Rifidi). At User ID and Password put the credentials from your trac account. If you want to, you can check Save Password. Click on Validate Settings and Finish.

Select the tasks you want to work on

Usually you do not want to see all the bugs, but only "your" bugs. You can retrieve those by adding a query to our trac bug database. Right click on your just added task repository and choose Add Query from the context menu.

Then enter a query that meets your requirements.

As soon as you switch back to your Java view, you should have a folder with your query's name in the upper right corner of your eclipse ide. This folder contains the tasks you queried for. Whenever there are new tasks matching your query, you will be notified of them and they will be automatically added to this folder.
