Hi,
I’m
pleased to announce that we have started a new Mylyn connector project for the
issue reporting module of Compuware Changepoint (often referred as CARS).
Just a little bit of background:
For
those who don’t know about Compuware, the PR stuff can be found here: http://www.compuware.com/corporate/default.htm
Changepoint
is an IT portfolio management software used by big IT companies and the issue
reporting is a complementary module of it. The sales pitch can be found
here: http://www.compuware.com/products/changepoint/default.htm
and there:
http://www.compuware.com/products/CARS/default.htm
The
team that will be spending some time on this project is located in the
beautiful city of Montréal, Québec (the French speaking part of Canada) .
At Compuware, we are a few that have the chance to spend some time on open
source initiatives, so we have some ppl that are getting involved in projects
such as Apache MUSE, Eclipse COSMOS and I’m planning to broaden that up
to other projects such as ActiveMQ and Mylyn. This means that once the
connector will be in a pretty good shape, I plan to assign some resources to
help fix bugs in Mylyn (if you’re interested ;)) and recommend Mylyn to
be used company wide as corporate standard (or best practice).
The
connector will be using webservices to gather and update information in
Changepoint. As a side note, Changepoint is developed in .Net by the
followers of the dark side ;) which some of them are also located in Montreal.
The great thing about this is that they will shape the webservices to our
specifications. I already started developing the base structure of the
connector by following the Integrator Reference and I’ll be looking at
Trac and JIRA as examples.
If
you have any pointers, suggestions or invitation for a beer, feel free to
contact me!
Have
a nice day,
pld
