Re: [mylyn-integrators] (Beginner) Need help on creating a connector

[Jessie Lee <tseylinlee@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK.  I figured it out.  I knew it must be something very dumb - I need to test the plug-in by launching a separate Eclipse application instead of using the same session.

 

Thanks Steffen!!!  I know it's still a long way to go but at least I can see my repository now.

Thanks again!  I think I must missing something very basic.  As I mentioned earlier, I am totally new to plug-in development.  It could be that I just totally don't know what I am doing...  Would you please take a look at the steps I do and see what I missed?

 

1. I downloaded the samples and created a workspace under eclipse for those samples.

2. Imported those projects to the workspace.

3. Everything built successfully.

4. I went to task repositories view - Local and Eclipse.org are in the list.

5. Clicked on the add task repository icon and see only Bugzilla on the list (workspace repository is not there).

 

Thank you so much for your patient and help!

You only need the connector extension and a settings page in order to
add a repository to the view (slide 13). The download for the sample
sources are linked from this page:
