Finally after a quick look at Mik Kersten bio I did not resist to see what is exactly Mylar. Wooow... I have just been thru the 1st 30min of the 1st demo here http://www.eclipse.org/mylar/start.php and I think it's worth the try. I have noticed that it needs Java 1.5 to run (thru Eclipse of course) and that at the time the video was done (oct 2006) "context storage" was not yet supported for JIRA but you were able to do that indirectly trough attachments. Or even sent these contexts over emails. But that does not mean that you can't use Jira if I follow what is explained at the bottom of the link above : Web only: Reports linked via drag-and-drop, editing via embedded browser, (any web-based repository) Query support: Repository queries in task list view (currently Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA and web connector templates) Full integration: Authoring of reports within native Eclipse editor, offline editing, incoming/outgoing status, compare and change notifications. (Bugzilla, JIRA and Trac)
Anyway, take a look at the video and you will make your own idea. Strange, just when I wanted to know more about IntelliJ it seems that Eclipse plugins begin to be really something ! Jacques
