Mylyn is a task-focused interface for Eclipse that reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy. It does this by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA. Once your tasks are integrated, Mylyn monitors your work activity to identify information relevant to the task-at-hand, and uses this task context to focus the Eclipse UI on the interesting information, hide the uninteresting, and automatically find what's related. This puts the information you need to get work done at your fingertips and improves productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation. By making task context explicit Mylyn also facilitates multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise.

plugin is too forthputting
task editor has not enough capabilities - it shows not all JIRA content, does not support Wiki-style formatting, supported by JIRA, ... Practically, you have to resort to Web-browser interface for virtually each non-trivial JIRA-interaction

| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 2 | 2008-09-29 18:56:21 | | | This plugin stinks. It doesn't accurately reflect what I'm working on. It loses information. Every time I start eclipse it loads up what it thinks I've been working on which is a very incomplete subset of the current task. First thing I do is shut off mylin when I start eclipse.

| | User: orion | Rating: 8 | 2008-08-27 07:04:26 | | | Mylyn has two very usable features for me. JIRA connection enables more convenient update of JIRA tasks than normal www-browser interface. Also filtering 'Package Explorer' view with current task's context has reduced navigation effort - especially when programming long lasting tasks that require modification of several packages/files.
| | User: Anonymous | Rating: 5 | 2008-08-11 15:43:13 | | | It makes sense only if you use a good (means: supported by Mylin) bug tracker. For all other users it only adds a lot of nice looking but sadly useless icons everywhere (on each and every view/editor) etc.
