Europa Mylyn Demo & Talk with Mik Kersten

Mylyn (formerly Mylar) enhances productivity by seamlessly integrating tasks into Eclipse, and automatically managing the contexts of those tasks as you work.Coté talks with Mik Kersten of the Eclipse Mylyn team about the most recent version of Mylyn (formally Mylar) in Eclipse Europa. In a brief video segment, Mik gives us a quick overview of Mylyn's goals as a task and "task context" plugin to Eclipse. Mylyn integrates with issue and task tracking applications like BugZilla, trac, and Rally, giving Eclipse users a normalized and team-driven GUI for task management. Tightly-linked to tasks is the idea of creating and managing "task contexts" which focus your code-base and related project down to just the items related to a task. These task contexts are saved with the task and can be shared among the team to get highly-focused views of the project, cutting away the inevitable clutter that even the most successful projects encounter. Tune in Now!.

Mik Kerten also spoke at the Eclipse Forum India 2007 on task-focused programming with Mylyn. His tutorial demonstrated how you can use Mylar to work with the development tasks that make up your workday. He also provided an overview of working with task repositories which Mylar integrates with Eclipse, and for which it provides features such as offline editing, background synchronizations and change notifications. This support was demonstrated with Bugzilla, JIRA, and Trac. Mik also provided an overview of generic support for working with any kind of web-based repository, such as the SourceForge and Google Code Hosting issue trackers. He then covered the benefits of bringing all of your work items into a single task list within Eclipse, and demonstrated Mylar’s scheduling and focused workweek technology, which facilitate planning and multi-tasking.

Mylar also provides support for automatically managing your task context makes working with very large Eclipse workspaces as easy as work with small ones. Mik showed delegates how to get the most out of task context management by sharing best practices for working with Java, plug-in, and web applications.
