Bug 168333

Comment 1 Steffen Pingel 2006-12-20 13:19:39 EST

Linking custom fields sounds like a very useful feature indeed. It would also be nice to synchronize the active time recorded by Mylar. 

Would you be interested in providing a patch?

This is related to bug 173880, and it is likely that we will eventually want this as API.

Tentatively scheduling for 3.0.

Would be great to sync with TracHours!!

There has been posted a patch in
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/21872/70191/#msg_70191
It works with the Trac WorkLog plugin, which in turn can work together with TracHours or TracTimingAndEstimation.

Unfortunately the author of that patch used the worst possible way to publish it, so I'm probably the fist one to actually try it ;-)

Yet this patch is still the most promising way to connect time tracking between Mylyn and Trac that I could google up.

So I manually edited it and applied it to the actual Mylyn version of IndigoM7 (Mylyn 3.6.0). I'll attach it in three parts here. (Don't look at indentations ;-) )

Very short instructions to use that patch in Eclipse Plug-in-Dev, for Trac users ;-) :
- Install 'Eclipse SDK', that feature contains the Mylyn sources.
- File->Import->Plug-Ins and.. [Import from active.., Import as Project with source]
- Select the 3 mylyn packages we are going to patch and finish importing
- apply each patch to its package:
~/workspace37/org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.core$ patch -l -p0 -u  <Timing_and_Estimation_Plugin.mylyn_tasks_core.patch
~/workspace37/org.eclipse.mylyn.trac.core$ patch -l -p0 -u <Timing_and_Estimation_Plugin.mylyn_trac_core.patch
~/workspace37/org.eclipse.mylyn.task.ui$ patch -l -p0 -u <Timing_and_Estimation_Plugin.mylyn_tasks_ui.patch
- increase the version number in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of each patched package a little.
- File->Export->Plug-in_Dev->Deployable_plugin [Select the 3 patched packages, Desination: Install into host]
- Restart Eclipse. Ready ;-)

This procedure should be unproblematic enough to be repeatable every time Tasktop provides an update to Mylyn.
