RE: [mylyn-dev] Packaging of team.cvs and team.ui plugins in PDE feature

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

First, to clarify the PDE feature is currently misnamed.  Very late in the Mylyn 2.0 cycle we learned from the EPP project that we needed a feature that was coupled to several SDK components including Ant, PDE and CVS.  Rather than making yet another feature we  overloaded the PDE feature.  What will likely happen in the 3.0 cycle is that we’ll bite the bullet and make separate CVS and Ant features, or make a separate SDK feature.

Regarding using CVS, the key tradeoff that we were not able to get rid of for 2.0 is that the Team integration requires the PDE/SDK feature.  This is due to the following bug:

   https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=191793

 

To work-around this you have to install the Mylyn Bridge: Eclipse SDK feature.  I just created a FAQ entry explaining this: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn_FAQ#Why_does_task_change_set_not_appear_when_I_modify_files.3F

Subject: [mylyn-dev] Packaging of team.cvs and team.ui plugins in PDE feature

 

All,

Are there specific reasons that the mylyn.team.cvs and mylyn.team.ui plugins are part of the PDE feature?

I ask, because I am trying to use Mylyn on top of a Platform install.  I think I was previously able to install the Subclipse Mylyn integration, but now it can't resolve mylyn.team.ui since it is part of the PDE feature which I don't have.

Would it be possible to move those plugins up the chain?
