RE: [mylar-dev] Split Sandbox Feature

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

The split should happen this week.  

Mylar dev sandbox web connector has dependency on focused ui
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=158976

It is now either simple enough or close to simple enough to make available
with the release, so yes, it should make it into 0.9 assuming that we can
get the final streamlining done.  The one remaining question I have is
whether it should go out with generic templates as the default, or with
project-specific templates that users then modify.

Eugene: could you update the documentation in the FAQ, and include simple
instructions on how to get set up on a couple of common repositories? 

Here's another thing that I think would help usability a lot.  For each
template, include a 1-2 sentence on instructions for how to get the
parameters needed.  Then display these instructions on the Task Repository
Properties page.  For example, for SourceForge they would be something like:
"Retrieve the atid and group_id values from the URL for your project's bug
tracker, and set these in the table below.  E.g. ?group_id=69325&atid=524143
has an atid of "524143".".  

We also have to decide what we call this component.  Taking it from the view
of the update site, how about:

  - Integration
     - Mylar Connector: Bugzilla
     - Mylar Connector: Web Repository (Advanced)

I think that we retain the "Advanced" for as long as users have to extract
information from existing URLs, but that could feasibly go away in the
longer-term.  

We also need to decide on the Bugzilla component name.  "Web" is too
generic, so perhaps webrepository?
