In the last days, I created a new Eclipse 3.6 installation including a couple of plugins: * Mylyn 3.4 + many connectors and extras * Tasktop 1.7 EA build * ... I did this on a separate workspace for installation in order to avoid destroying my normal workspace. Today I finished the installation, made a backup of my normal workspace and started the new Eclipse 3.6 installation on it. After I while I noticed that all my Mylyn categories are gone. All tasks are part of the Uncategorized category. Restoring from the Mylyn backup worked so this may be a workaround for this bug. I have no idea what special conditions triggered this issue. Please tell me what further information I shall provide. Thanks. -- Configuration Details -- Product: Eclipse 1.3.0.20100617-0521 (org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product) Installed Features: org.eclipse.mylyn_feature 3.4.0.v20100608-0100-e3x
Just restored by workspace copy and started Eclipse 3.6 again. Now my categories are here. Not sure what happened to them...
Did this problem only apply to categories or were queries also affected?
(In reply to comment #2) > Did this problem only apply to categories or were queries also affected? Just all categories were affected, I did not miss any queries. Normally, I install all plugins using a dedicated installation workspace and switch to my normal workspace if the installation is complete. In this case, I noticed that the Task Trim widget was missing in my normal workspace and added the some plugins from the incubator/experimental update sites. Not sure whether this caused the issue. At the moment, this seems difficult to reproduce.
I could reproduce a similar problem: 1. Start *with* the Bugzilla connector, add a category and assign Bugzilla tasks 2. Restart *without* the Bugzilla connector 3. Start again with *with* the Bugzilla connector Tasks that were previously assigned to the category are now in Unmatched but the category created in step 1 still exists. Jörg, is that consistent with what you experienced or is that a different problem?
Steffen, sorry for replying so late. This happened during the installation of the new Eclipse 3.6 from scratch. Since this also involved installing connectors, e.g. JIRA or Trac, this could be related. I restarted my installation several times, in the first place without Tasktop and later with Tasktop added. But this was a while ago and I cannot remember exactly. A colleague of mine reported that he had also issues with loosing categories, I may ask him next week.
I am lowering priority as I have only been able to reproduce the problem described in comment #4 which needs fixing. Joerg, please comment if you have any more hints how to reproduce the original problem.
No chance to reproduce this. You may close this as WORKSFORME.
Changing summary to reflect comment 4 and marking WONTFIX.
