While Mylyn will happily display other languages and character sets coming from the task repository, the Mylyn UI has never been internationalized. The Eclipse Babel project has provided a great service by enabiling the community to contribute translations. But to support Babel, a project needs to update its codebase to support internationalization. In a tireless...
I very much enjoyed doing this interview for the Microsoft-created How Software is Built series. In terms of length, it may go against the less is more mantra, but for that I blame the skills of Scott Swigart and Sean Campbell, who raised some very interesting questions and insights. The interview covers building communities, bridging...
Comments on The Server Side have been voicing concerns about SpringSource’s new maintenance policy, which gives incentive to purchase a support contract if you’re building mission critical apps on Spring. I’ve been amazed at some of the dialog, which ranges from suggestions that SpringSource has neglected its community to recommendations that they should instead ask...
I just spotted a neat post about Living inside Eclipse. This line of reasoning is where Gail Murphy and I were at a couple of years ago when laying out plans for bringing the benefits of Mylyn and Eclipse to activities outside of programming. We had created an RCP version of Mylyn, coined the “task-focused...

It starts with an overview of Mylyn, followed by an introduction to Tasktop for Eclipse. The article covers how Tasktop extends Mylyn’s task-focused interface beyond the Eclipse workbench to...

This occasion marks a big step in the evolution of the task-focused interface: Numerous new features added since the Europa Mylyn 2.0 release, including offline task creation, focus for breakpoints and major performance improvements 1703...
David Carver has blogged some useful experiences about porting from Mylyn 2.0 to 3.0. Mylyn 3.0 contains very significant API changes that make Mylyn connectors more robust and easier to create. This release represents a critical evolution in the maturity of the Mylyn project. The Europa release cycle brought us a very wide diversity of...
There’s a light at the end of the 3.0 tunnel that Mylyn committers have been in—the light is a fast approaching train called Ganymede. Here’s a status update for both early adopters and integrators. Since last June’s Mylyn 2.0 and Europa release we’ve had three releases, and the ecosystem around Mylyn has evolved from a...
