[geclipse-dev] Bugzilla News

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

you might have seen that there are some changes in the gEclipse Bugzilla 
product. Harald and I added some new features to it:

- Component: The bug or feature request affects a specific component. For now
  this can be one of

  - core          All about the core functionalities of the g-Eclipse project
  - documentation All about the documentation of the g-Eclipse project
  - geclipse      Everything that doesn't fit into the other categories
  - middleware    All about the middleware implementations of g-Eclipse
  - releng        All about the release engineering process (build, ...)
  - tools         All about the 3rd party tools, which are planned to be
                  integrated in the g-Eclipse project 	
  - website       Concerning all issue for the g-Eclipse website on
                  eclipse.org

- Version: '0.5.0' is a new field and should be used if the bug appears in the 
  0.5.0 release

- Target Milestone: When do we fix the bug or integrate the new feature? This
  can be something like '0.5.0 M0', '0.5.0 M1', ...


If you are using Mylar to track the Bugzilla issues, you have to open 
the 'Task Repositories' view and do an 'Update Attributes' on 
your 'Eclipse.org' repository. This will update your local attributes cache 
with the new components, version and milestones.


The Eclipse Bugzilla knows of two additional fields 'Hardware' and 'OS'. If 
you don't change their default value, these are set to your browser defaults 
(like 'PC' and 'Windows XP' or 'Linux'). Please make sure that these fields 
correspond to your bug description.

Markus
