New page

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.

 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.
