Update instructions:
Spell Checking |
Spell checking is supported in the task editor for local tasks and
for connectors that support rich editing (e.g. Bugzilla, Trac).
Please see the FAQ for how to turn on this preference:

Open/Active Task dialogs |
An Open Type style dialog is available for opening tasks
(Ctrl+Shift+F11) and for activating tasks (Ctrl+Shift+F12).
The list is initially populated by recently active tasks. The
active task can also be deactivated via Ctrl+Shift+F9. This
can be used as a keyboard only alternative for multi-tasking
multi-tasking without the Task List view visible. These
actions appear in the Navigate menu.
|
|
Attachment Improvements |
Repository task attachments (supported by the Bugzilla and Trac
connectors) can now be attached via drag-and-drop from both within
the Eclipse workspace and from outside, and from text selections,
which will invoke the attachment wizard. Attachment can be opened
with a browser or editor.
|
|
Task List Restore |
Task and context data can be restored from a backup snapshot via
File -> Import -> Mylar Task Data. By default backup
snapshots are taken daily and kept for 30 days.
|
|
Report Bugs from Error Log |
Bugs can created directly from events in the
Error Log view.
This will create a new repository task editor with the summary and
description populated with the error event's details. If
the Connector you are using does not have a rich editor, the event
details will be placed into the clipboard so that you can paste them
into the web-based editor that will be opened automatically.
|
|
Automatic Duplicate Detection |
The Search for Duplicates button on the New Repository
Task editor encourages and facilitates finding similar bug
reports before creating a new one. Potential duplicates are displayed in
the Search view which can be used to open a bug and comment
or vote if a duplicate is found. The current duplicate
detection mechanism uses stack traces, either automatically inserted
by the Report as Bug mechanism, or manually pasted into the
Description area. All descriptions and comments of bugs
on the corresponding repository are included in the search.
|
|
Task Editor Improvements |
All hyperlinks (URLs, bug/task references, Java stack traces) now
work in the New Comment and Notes editors. Note
that hyperlinks need to be hovered over in order to get underlined.
Multiple undo/redo and other editor shortcuts now work, and
editing actions are integrated into the context menu. When
submitting comments, contexts can be more easily attached by selecting the corresponding check-box in the Actions
section.
|
Hierarchical Layout in Package Explorer |
The long-standing limitation of not being able to use the Package
Explorer in hierarchical mode has been resolved in Eclipse 3.3.
Please comment on JDT
bug
148759 if you would like this supported in Eclipse 3.2.1.

Apply Mylar to Debug view |
Mylar can now be applied to the Debug view, making the thread
tree focusing on the task context by hiding uninteresting stack
frames.
|
|
Auto Apply Mylar on Navigator Views |
For navigator views (Package Explorer, Project Explorer
and Navigator) the Apply Mylar button can be set to automatically toggle on
with task activation and off with task deactivation.
Note that the context-related preferences including this one are now in
Preferences -> Mylar -> Context.
|
Rich Editor, Attachments and Offline support |
The Trac connector now supports the rich task editor. As with
the Bugzilla editor, this means that attributes and comments can be
for viewedand editing offline, synchronization is done in the
background, and attachments can be posted and retrieved. Task
Context attachments are supported via the context menu actions in
the Task List. This support requires the Trac XML-RPC plug-in
to be enabled and the integration will fall back to the web mode if
it is not, see:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_FAQ#Trac_Connector_troubleshooting
|
|
Search Integration |
Trac search is now integrated with the generic Task search facility.
|
|
Query Integration |
The new connector for the open source
Trac issue tracking system
integrates Trac queries into the Task List. If you do not know your
Trac repository version use the Automatic setting and click
Validate Settings.
|
Improved JIRA Query Dialog |
The JIRA query dialog has been streamlined into a single page.
Date range queries are now supported.
