Hi, I've recently been working on updating the Eclipse Mylyn stack in Fedora. For the impatient, eclipse-mylyn* 3.5.1 packages are already available in rawhide ;-) Updates for F15 will be pushed soon.
As some of you might know Eclipse Mylyn is now a top-level Eclipse project and has been split into several sub-projects as of their 3.5 release. With release 3.5 of Mylyn, there are now a total of 17 binary RPMs available in Fedora. The two most exciting new features are custom workflow support for Bugzilla bug trackers and Mylyn Builds (which provides swift CI interaction from within Eclipse). With its new custom workflow support, Mylyn 3.5 can now be used to interact (without restriction) with Red Hat's Bugzilla instance. There is no need to switch to the browser anymore. See [1] as to how to set up a Red Hat Bugzilla task repository with the correct custom transitions file. Note that we are currently working with upstream to make this setup even easier. Due to Mylyn's restructuring upstream, we have decided to restructure Fedora SRPMs as well. [2] describes the new Fedora SRPMs/RPMs in detail. If you are a Mylyn user, updates from 3.4 to 3.5 should work fine without further action. If you are a maintainer of an Mylyn dependent Eclipse plug-in in Fedora, this could mean that you have to update requirements/build requirements in your spec-file. Please make sure that your plug-ins work with new Mylyn 3.5 packages in Fedora. I'd like to push the Mylyn 3.5 update for Fedora 15 soon and would appreciate if you could make sure that this doesn't break your plug-ins. [2] should provide you with enough information as to what has changed in rawhide (or will change soon for F15). Feel free to get back to me should you have questions regarding the Mylyn update. I'm also on IRC in #fedora-java, #fedora-devel, etc. My nick is jerboaa.
