Description Jon Smirl CLA 2001-12-24 12:38:31 EST 
Eclipse should have a file bug/feature report choice on the help menu. This 
would allow you to pre-fill in the extact build of the product and record JRE 
version, installed plugings etc. 

An unexpected exception could also give a choice to file a bug report and 
include the stack trace.

If you can't get the browser to work, make the form in Java and generate a http 
post.

This enhancement is a good idea and an opportunity for a contribution from the 
open source community. Initially it could be written as a separate plugin. 

Does anyone in the open source community want to write this feature?
Comment 4 Leon J. Breedt CLA 2002-03-15 11:07:45 EST 
i'm definitely interested and have started on a skeleton plugin...i will make 
it available (sourceforge) as soon as i have something worth showing.

Leon, how is your plugin going?
Comment 7 Leon J. Breedt CLA 2002-05-02 06:46:23 EDT 
i have a preliminary version available which works as a proof-of-concept.
no binaries, but the source is on sourceforge:

CVSROOT: cvs.defector.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/defector
Module:  org.neverborn.edt

its pretty bare-bones, but i've tested it against the Eclipse repository successfully.
see my post on the newsgroup: "[ANN] pre-release of defect tracking plugin" for more details.
Comment 8 Leon J. Breedt CLA 2002-05-02 06:56:19 EDT 
note: i will working overseas for 3 months, starting today, so i won't be able to give it that much attention until my return.
Comment 9 Kevin Haaland CLA 2002-05-02 10:37:53 EDT 
Thanks for the update Leon. When I get a chance I'll give it a try but this is 
not likely to happen until after 2.0 is finished.
Comment 10 Leon J. Breedt CLA 2002-07-16 12:16:16 EDT

This is hasn't been touched in 3 years I am assuming it is no longer in development
