Build ID: I20080617-2000 Steps To Reproduce: As soon as I activate a task and unfocus (Alt+click) my selected working set is ignored. My assumption would be that even if I unfocus a task the selected working set would still be respected. More information:
Mik, is that the intended behavior?
Just to explain what the problem here is: I have a big workspace with a lot of different projects. I use currently working sets to filter them to the relevant set of projects. Now I would like to use Mylyn to focus within these working sets to different tasks. As the projects in my different working sets are not related it is not desired by my to see them all, once I unfocus with Mylyn.
+1 Unless there's a workaround, this bug effectively forces me to choose: either Mylyn or Working Sets. I currently opt for Working Sets since that's what I'm more familiar with.
After deselecting all options in Preferences/Tasks/Context *and* restarting Eclipse now Mylyn and Working Sets seem to be able to co-exist pacifically.
Yes, this is the intended behavior. I originally implemented it as per the Description, but it was just too weird to navigate to an Java class and not have that show up in the focused Package Explorer. Navigating to it express the intention for it to show. So if this really is the desired behavior, does that mean that we should consider preventing navigation to that element instead of hiding it?
Hi Mik, I believe you misunderstood my request. I believe that during a activated task the current behavior is perfect. Navigating to a Java class means that it should be shown in the focused package explorer. But if I unfocus a task (using the unfocus button in the package explorer) then I believe the working sets should be considered. Otherwise it becomes difficult to find the right files to put then into the task content. Best regards, Lars
Thanks for clarifying. Agreed that this should will better meet expectation.
This is tricky to implement, so removing from milestone. But raising priority since the request makes sense and there are votes.
Actually, when dealing with complex setups with many projects, it does make sense to have Mylyn honor both it's own context and the working set. Otherwhise, when the task is focused, the working no longer has any meaning, which may mean you loose a carefully configured and tailored view of your project.
I'm ok with the current behavior. Closing as Won't fix, please open a new bug if you want to combine working sets and Mylyn.
