I think I understand the situation, but have no advice at this point: Suppose you have two arbitrary defect tracking systems, say Bugzilla and ClearQuest. The objective is to create a task in both repositories at the same time. So Bugzilla may have id = 408 and ClearQuest may have id = "ABC". Somewhere there would have to be a relationship between 408 and ABC that Carole would have to maintain. If I understand the question, it comes down to either whether a task can be associated with multiple repositories, or whether two tasks can share the information. One difficulty I see with the later is that only one active context is permitted.
Does that summarize? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Bryan (tombry) Sent: January-24-09 3:22 PM To: Mylyn Integrators list Subject: RE: [mylyn-integrators] Multi bugtrackers project I'm not sure whether I understand your question. You may need to give a more concrete example. Or perhaps you are just confused about how Mylyn works. Mylyn provides Eclipse with the concept of tasks that exist as top-level entities in the workspace. Tasks are not part of any project. The Mylyn Task List provides a project-independent container for the tasks. Tasks must exist outside of projects because one task's context may refer to files from more than one project. Many applications, especially Eclipse plug-in features, consist of several separate Eclipse projects. To complete one task, the developer may need to modify code in multiple projects. It wouldn't really work if tasks were contained in an Eclipse project. You can even have tasks with no projects. That is, you can have a workspace with zero projects that has a Task List with tasks from 3 different repositories. ---Tom Carole RIFFAULT wrote on Saturday, January 24, 2009 12:10 PM: > Hello Rob, > > Thank you for your answer.
