Yes, Mylyn 2.0.0 is the last release that works on Eclipse 3.2.

As far as I remember there were some additions to the Mylyn API. The changes
in platform between 3.2 and 3.3 particularly in the forms API are more
siginificant though. This will require some porting effort if your connector
has customizations in the task editor for instance.

You should be able to quickly verify that by checking the Mylyn 2.0.0 branch
out and compiling your plug-in against it. If it compiles it should work :).
If you decide to go ahead with the back port it would be great if you could
post your experiences here.
