Re: [mylyn-integrators] Handling synchronization in a connector

[Maarten Meijer <mm105@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mik,

Mylyn 3.0 will support Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4 as in your other post.
But the big thing will be to plug into stuff like RSA and the other  
paid toolsets.
The #1 requested connector is ClearQuest.
Do you know when these will move to 3.3 or 3.4?
Thats what we need to support with the SQL connector.
