[News.eclipse.technology.mylar] Re: How to the the Bugzilla API Headless

[Robert Elves <rob.elves@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Headless use of the Tasks Framework (and/or) the Bugzilla Connector is 
'lightly' documented here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Integrator_Reference#Headless_use

It requires a number of eclipse jars on the classpath but doesn't 
require a running eclipse workbench. I've recently run through an 
example of headless use of the Bugzilla Connector as you will find 
documented at the wiki link above.

Any feedback/questions you have on your experience using the api is welcome.
