Motivation
...
- This short introduction aims at providing some practical advice for setting-up an Ecipse IDE with JIRA.
- The benefit of integrating these two powerfull tools is just one more step closer to the "single point of development" approach.
...
- BTW: There is a connector for Microsoft
...
- Visual Studio,
...
...
What components will you
...
need?
- First of all: Eclipse with Mylyn.
...
- We suggest to use the latest version of Eclipse
...
- .
- At the time of writing: Helios (
...
- 3.6). Helios
...
- includes a current Mylin version (3.4)
...
- .
- Of course,
...
- a JIRA server is required. At the time of writing version 4.1
...
- was used. To communicate from Eclipse to
...
- JIRA and vice
...
- versa
...
- the
...
- JIRA Plugin is
...
- required.
Where to get it?
- Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org
- JiraJIRA: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/
- the Jira-PluginJIRA Plugin: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/IDEPLUGIN/Installing+the+Eclipse+Connector. It is recommended to use the Eclipse-update Site of the JIRA Plugin .
- The source code of the connector is available
...
- from Atlassian.
- The source
...
- code for the connector is published as open source.
- To get an overview it is the best way to create a new project in
...
- Eclipse an connect to the
...
- subversion repository.
