Re: [epp-dev] Mylyn in C/C++ EPP?

When determining whether the tasks view belongs in the Java perspective, we should be asking this question:

 

Does a typical Java developer need to interact with a bug tracking system?

 

Keep in mind that the default perspectives setup isn’t there for Eclipse pros who will customize their perspectives anyway and no two will agree on what should be where. The default setup is really there so that a novice user can get started relatively quickly without hunting around for tools that they need.

 

We also need to be careful to keep project boundaries out of IDE the product decisions. The fact that the tasks view is contributed by Mylyn should be immaterial to the discussion.

 

Thanks,

Why do they have to add it by default? A user who wants to see the

Mylyn task view can open it up via Show View and the user selection

would be persistent for the next start of the IDE.

 

Especially now that Mylyn is part of most distributions, they should

avoid adding their views without user interaction. If every plug-in

would add its views to the Java perspective by default we would end up

with a UI mess.
