Great walk-through. Could you please consider updating the following User Guide entry to make sure that it includes all the steps you outlined? You just need your Bugzilla password to Edit. Note that eclipse.org just moved the wiki "Edit" button to the left nav bar.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_User_Guide#Generic_Web_Repository_Connector

Will do it as soon time allows. Actually, I already added a notice that the "Preview" feature is only in the "Repository Query", not in the "Add Connector" dialog.


Cheers, Jörg

I do not know much about Mylar repositories. But I want to ask anyway.

We have a roundup issue tracker. Is it possible for me to use Mylar with our roundup issue tracker as task repository?

Hi Ali,

you asked me to provide step-by-step information for setup. Here it is:

1. Create an new repository query:
* right-click on the task list
* select New / Query...

2. Create a new repository:
* Add Task Repository
* select "Generic web based repository" as the task repository type
* "Next>"

3. Configure new web-based repository:
Server: URL of your roundup tracker website (http://host/path) to be used for ${serverUrl}
Label: visible name, e.g. "Roundup Tracker"
User ID / Password: if needed


Parameters: define name + value, can be used as ${name} in the query fields below

4. Advanced configuration:

Task URL: how to query a task with a given id, ie

"${serverUrl}/show_id?id="

The id is append to this string to complete the query.

New Task URL: leave empty for the moment

QUery Request URL: The most important: Here you can enter how the roundup tracker is queried for a list of issues. This query can be parameterized using ${serverUrl} and your defined parameters.

Query Pattern: This is regexp which should pick to values for every issue:

prefix ( issue id ) infix ( issue description ) suffix

If you have no clue, leave this empty for now and proceed.

* Finish

5. Create query using new repository
* select
* "Next>"
Query Title: Choose some name
* Open "Advanced Configuration"

Here you have the Query URL / Pattern from above, but a "Preview" button on the side

* enter some regexp and press "Preview"
* look at the table with headings "id" and "description" below to see whether it matches


If you post one example line from your issue tracker HTML I could make a suggestion how this could look like.

Cheers, Jörg
