RE: [mylar-dev] Bugzilla Integration

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

I'm really am sorry to say that there hasn't been any progress on this
front, and I realize that this is a key limiting issue for you and many
others.  Frankly I would have trouble bothering to activate tasks if they
didn't come from the issue tracking repository.  But with the summer
students gone we've been down to one active committer.  Thankfully he's
using Mylar which helps significantly with his productivity ;)  

I do have some good news though: Wesley Coelho has made some significant
contributions to Mylar already, and one thing that's on his list is
implementing a mapping from local tasks to URLs (this is pretty much your
idea Eugene, since you asked for the ability to drag URLs to the task list).
With this in place you will be able double-click a normal task, and if it
has a URL attachment one of the editor tabs will show the bug in the
internal browser.  This will also have the benefit of providing some basic
support for proprietary bug systems that are web based.  It's planned for
0.4: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=111023

After 0.4 one the highest priority things will be to get the multiple
provider stuff going.  But this is an area where we could really use some
community contribution.  Wolfgang, if you are interested in contributing
Eugene's suggestion would be the perfect way to do it, and would have the
benefit of ensuring that Mylar supports your customized repository.
