Re: [mylyn-dev] Workspace Provisioning with Mylyn

[Sebastian Schmidt <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Maarten,

Sounds interesting, thanks for the pointer.

I'm not sure if someone would really fill in the information manually
for each bug (there are a lot of them). But since people already share
their context and the suggested approach would add the required
information to the context, it should be easy to parse an attached
context in bugzilla and use it to autofill your custom fields (for
people not using Mylyn). I actually like the idea a lot ;)

Cheers,

Sebastian
