[mylyn-dev] OSLC-CM support on the "client" side, and compatible Open So

[Olivier Berger <olivier.berger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

I'm wondering what the status of support of OSLC-CM V1 is in Mylyn.

AFAIK, there ain't yet any stable server-side OSLC-CM V1 REST APIs for
Open Source bugtrackers available (OK, we're working on implementing one
for Mantis [0], but that isn't complete yet).

I'm wondering if there's some (indeed Open Source) code in Mylyn that is
close to being operational in order to connect it to an OSLC-CM V1
server, hence allowing us to test with our code for Mantis, and start
solving the chicken and egg problem WRT Open Source tools and OSLC-CM.

At the moment all inquiries we have about OSLC-CM and Open Source (and
Mylyn) end up in a dead-end : no server, no consumer, rendering it
difficult to evaluate OSLC-CM in practice for Open Source environments
(where people tend to trust code more than specs and PRs ;).

It seems that Bugzilla and Trac are in the list of reference tools in
http://www.eclipse.org/project-slides/mylyn-restructuring-review.html
but I have no clue of whether someone is working at implementing OSLC-CM
REST interfaces for these trackers. In fact there's a ticket I know for
Bugzilla at [1] but that seems really quiet.

Any more details anyone ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

P.S.: yes, I know that there's some pieces of code in CVS, but a clear
roadmap and documentation would be helpful instead of me having to
monitor changes in a CVS that changes in a strange way, as it that gets
updated in push mode from another repo... AFAICT :-/
