Eclipse Trac Plugin

Eclipse is great tool and its plugins system seems to provide an infinity quantity of possibility. Let’s find out how to use a plugin that let you keep under control your bug directly in your favorite IDE (in its last incarnation Ganymede)!

First of all be sure your version of Eclipse include the Mylyn.

At the moment, if you have the “Classic” version of Eclipse or you experiments dependency problems, you need to add the Mylyn update site:

http://eclipse.org/mylyn/downloads/

Then you simply have to add a Trac site as new Task Repository:

Window->Show View->Other

Now you have to select Task Repositories to add a list of Local and Remote tasks lists.

Click on the Add Task Repository icon and Eclipse will ask you which kind of task repository you want to use. You may use much issue tracking systems as you wish but you will have to install the relative “connector”: click on Install More Connectors … and you will have new, unexpected, panorama of bug tracking system.

You can use Gmail and, among many others, the Eclipse Trac Plugin!

Choose your Task Repository type...
