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

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Shelby,

 

I just posted a draft 3.0 plan document that has some tentative dates: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn_3.0_Plan   Note that these dates are dependent on what the Platform sets their 3.4 Milestone dates to, since we like to follow by 1 week.

 

In terms of the timing for bug 191793, we are considering it a priority so it is could make it into a 2.x release.  However, since it is very likely that this requires changes in Platform/Team, it is not yet clear whether the change can be made backwards compatible for 3.3 (although we will certainly try).

Mik,

That is kind of what I figured, just wanted to shine some light on its necessity.

What is the timeframe for Mylyn 3.0?  I did a quick search, but couldn't find a roadmap or project plan that includes 3.0.

For now, I have created a custom Mylyn package containing just the bits I need.  I was mainly wondering when I would be able to use the real download.

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:

 

   191793: [api] remove coupling from to ..mylyn.team.ui to org.eclipse.team.cvs

   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

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?
