RE: [mylar-dev] Cool stuff!

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Alef, that's really great to hear.  We've been doing most feature
planning on bug reports, and the following bugzilla query will bring them
up.  I would love to brainstorm about any ideas that you come up with,
either on specific reports or on this list.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=releva
nce+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=Mylar&content=%5Bdiscussion%5D

A contribution of JIRA integration would have huge value for Mylar because
the Task List is way more useful when your tasks are linked to the issue
tracking repository.  The Bugzilla plug-in currently extends the task list
via extension points and a bit of API and JIRA support could do the same,
staged something like this:

1) Make it possible to add JIRA issues by ID to task list categories,
contributing actions for creation, deletion, and opening with the internal
browser. 
2) Add support for JIRA query categories.  The easiest way to do this might
be to generalize our query execution support from ..mylar.bugzilla.ui to
..mylar.tasklists.  
3) Integrate JIRA issue operations, such as adding comments and attachments,
into an Eclipse editor that could be based off our current Bugzilla editor.

(1) should be a fairly straightforward and well-scoped task, but first it
would be great to get your feedback on how you would like the JIRA support
to work.  Please comment on the following report:

Cheers,

Mik
