<p>Mylyn is a task-focused UI for Eclipse that makes working with very large
|
|
|
37 |
workspaces as easy as working with small ones. Mylyn extends Eclipse with rich
|
|
|
38 |
facilities for keeping track of the tasks that you work and collaborate on. A
|
|
|
39 |
task is defined as any unit of work that you want to recall or share with
|
|
|
40 |
others, such as a bug reported by a user or a note to yourself about improving a
|
|
|
41 |
feature. You can store tasks locally in your workspace, or they can come from
|
|
|
42 |
one or more task repositories. To connect to a task repository, for example a
|
|
|
43 |
bug tracker such as Bugzilla, you must have a connector that supports that
|
|
|
44 |
repository. </p>
|
|
|
45 |
<p>Once your tasks are integrated, Mylyn monitors your work activity
|
|
|
46 |
on those tasks to identify information relevant to the task-at-hand.
|
|
|
47 |
System artifacts such as files, types, methods, and fields get assigned
|
|
|
48 |
a degree-of-interest based on how recently and frequently you interact
|
|
|
49 |
with them. This results in uninteresting elements being filtered from
|
|
|
50 |
view within Eclipse, allowing you to focus on on what is important. From
|
|
|
51 |
this, Mylyn creates a task context, which is the set of all artifacts
|
|
|
52 |
related to your task. These can include methods you have edited, APIs
|
|
|
53 |
you have referred to, and documents you have browsed. Mylyn uses this
|
|
|
54 |
task context to focus the Eclipse UI on interesting information, hide
|
|
|
55 |
what's uninteresting, and automatically find what's related. Having the
|
|
|
56 |
information you need to get your work done at your fingertips improves
|
|
|
57 |
your productivity by reducing the time you spend searching, scrolling,
|
|
|
58 |
and navigating. By making task context explicit, Mylyn also facilitates
|
|
|
59 |
multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise.</p>
