Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2006-12-04 22:00:53 EST
Mylar update site should link to companion update sites, such as Subclipse and Subversive
integrations as well as other 3rd party connectors.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=165581#c22

PS:
Mik, here is what Mike meant. I can't copy direct link to your comment from Bugzilla editor
and I can only link to the web UI from here.
Comment 1 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-12-04 22:11:04 EST
Do you have an update site for me to link to, e.g. a Subclipse one?  I might also be able to try with the subversive one.
Comment 2 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2006-12-04 22:57:53 EST
Hey! It takes several days to you to review and apply some tiny patches and I had only few hours since you resolved API issues in a team... I am not that fast. 

Anyways, I guess Subclipse update site is going to be at http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x
Comment 3 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-12-04 23:46:32 EST
Yes, sorry, was not meaning to imply that you could get this turned around instantly.

You don't have to be sorry. I am not as sensitive as you know who. Just being cheeky as usual. :-)

Besides, you can still use subversive update site as a playground...
Comment 5 Mik Kersten CLA 2006-12-07 11:16:42 EST
We can still try to have this for 1.0, or to update the site.xml file shortly thereafter, but first we need to ensure that the Subclipse and Subversive sites work standalone.
Comment 6 Adrian Bojani CLA 2006-12-18 04:38:56 EST
If Mylar links to other 3rd party connectors, we would like if our connector from update site: "http://www.trackplus.com/files/update-site/e3.2/trackplus-mylar"
might be refered also.
Comment 7 Lubos Pochman CLA 2007-01-15 16:23:19 EST
Update sites for the beta version of Codebeamer repository connector is available:

http://cbconnector.javaforge.com/update/codebeamer-3.2
http://cbconnector.javaforge.com/update/codebeamer-3.3

You may also want to add a note about your connector to http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php?title=Mylar_Integrators .
Comment 9 Mik Kersten CLA 2007-02-19 13:44:45 EST
This did not make into Friday's 2.0M1 update site because we need to give integrators a chance to move to the 2.0M1 APIs if they choose to do so (I plan on sending out the porting email by tomorrow).

Adrian: please consider expanding on the Trac+ entry that Steffen added.
Comment 10 Mik Kersten CLA 2007-03-30 11:27:17 EDT
I added entries for each of the tools mentioned on the bug to following page, now linked from our navigation bar: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Extensions

Each contains an update site.  Could everyone CC'd please make sure that their update site and description are correct or update as necessary?
Comment 11 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2007-04-19 12:32:07 EDT
Mik, we can probably maintain a separate aggregating update site that can link those external update sites together in one place.
Comment 12 Mik Kersten CLA 2007-04-20 18:30:16 EDT
Eugene: that sounds good to me, at least to start.  Do you want to take a stab at creating it?
Comment 13 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2007-04-20 18:59:34 EDT
Here you are:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site associateSitesURL="http://download.eclipse.org/technology/mylar/extensions/associateSites.xml">

and associateSites.xml look something like this:

<associateSites>

   <associateSite label="Subclipse 1.2.x"

Comment 14 Mik Kersten CLA 2007-05-11 12:10:12 EDT
To do this effectively we will need to start a process similar to the Europa release train, where integrators are responsible for updating their associated sites to ensure that they support the corresponding version of Mylar.  I plan on posting a proposal for this next week and would like to have the departure of the train be the 2.0 release.
Comment 15 Mik Kersten CLA 2007-06-18 22:51:14 EDT
It turns out that are legal implications to doing this on eclipse.org.  We are exploring how best to do this, but might not have it resolved by June 29th.  I'd like to do it as soon as possible after the 29th and if we can't make it happen on eclipse.org for that time it might make sense to prototype it on an external site until we can move it to eclipse.org.
Comment 16 Mik Kersten CLA 2008-02-28 20:21:10 EST
For the time being we are supporting pointing to other update sites via the Mylyn Extensions page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylyn_Extensions
Comment 17 Mik Kersten CLA 2008-05-13 13:07:11 EDT
As per comment#15, we have done what we can here via the Mylyn Extensions page, since we can't link non-eclipse.org content.
Comment 18 David Green CLA 2009-07-16 10:33:02 EDT
Interested parties should look into the new discovery UI: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/Discovery
Mylyn Discovery is included in Galileo.
