Re: [mylar-dev] using Mylar with RadRails

I was helping friend to get Mylar working on popular IDE based on
Eclipse for Ruby on Rails (RadRails). Standalone RadRails IDE has only
a subset of platform plugins, so Mylar didn't work there (even when we
tried to manually install Mylar's plugins since there is no common
update manager either). We ended up installing Eclipse and have pulled
RarRails plugins from their update site, but then we faced number of
issues.
Our plug-in modularity is intended to support this, even if the current
features don't make it convenient. What's RadRails missing?
Apparently there is no org.eclipse.ui.browser which is used by
org.eclipse.mylar.tasklist plugin.
After adding this plugin Mylar views (tried 0.6 release) appear in
RadRails and I can query bugzilla from there. Jira services are
obviously missing from zipped update site and it is somehow challenging
for the users to install it, since RadRails is also missing standard
update manager UI.
Anyways, I created ticket for RadRails about browser plugin
http://trac.radrails.org/trac/ticket/1174
In a mean time I wonder if there is something could be done on Mylar side?
Seems like you
could just install by getting the site zip and putting everything there
other than mylar.java, which requires JDT. If they don't have eclipse.team
you'll have to skip mylar.team. If they don't have PDE you'll have to skip
mylar.ide, which gets you the Navigator and Project Explorer actions for
Apply Mylar. In that case we should consider moving the PDE bridge to
mylar.java, which is fine since PDE is coupled to eclipse.jdt anyway.
There is no PDE, but I do see Mylar actions in Navigator view.
First of all "Rails Explorer" view does not show Mylar filtering
icon, so it is not possible to hide out uninteresting resources from
that view.
Secondly, as I expected Mylar does not have bridge for Ruby
structures and as a result interest filter does not seem to work on
Outline view.
I just responded to this on bug:
150772: [bridge] RadRails
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=150772
Also note the corresponding section on the new wiki-based FAQ:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_FAQ#Integration_with_other_tools
Creating basic connectors is quite easy now. I guess I would have to try
the bridges...
Anyways, we have tried to use generic "Project Explorer" view and
Mylar filtering seem to work there, however quick unfiltering didn't
work at all. It was running on XUbuntu Linux, so I am not sure if it
was a platform specific issue.
Any thoughts on this are really appreciated.
This issue is probably specific to SWT/JFace on linux, which is really
sad.
