The emphasis on the 1.1 release has been compatibility with the Mylyn 2.0 GA
release as well as polish and cleanup. Still, this release also brings an all-new
plug-in for CollabNet CUBiT as well as additional support for openCollabNet.
Mylyn Connectors
|
| Support Mylyn 2.0 GA |
The connectors have been updated to support the
Mylyn 2.0 GA release with support for Eclipse 3.2 and 3.3. See the Mylyn
New and Noteworthy
page for information on changes to Mylyn. |
|
| Performance improvements |
Across the board performance improvements in all aspects
of Mylyn in general, and the CollabNet connectors specifically. |
|
| Issue History |
An option was added in both editors to access the history of the issue. |
Project Tracker Connector
|
| Add Artifacts |
Artifacts can now be added via an Eclipse rich editor. In
previous release, browser interface was used. |
|
| Subversion integration |
Subversion commit messages in artifact comments are parsed and
added to a special Subversion commits section of the artifact editor. This improves the UI by
removing them from the comments and showing them in their own special location. Clicking on a
commit integrates with ViewVC to provide details about the commits that happened for an artifact.
|
|
| Improved Screen Layout |
Improvements were made in the layout of fields in the attributes
section. Specifically, care was given to insure that long fields were always large enough to
be readable.
|
|
| Numerous Bug Fixes |
Many bug fixes and minor improvements were made based on user
feedback. |
Issue Tracker Connector (Issuezilla)
|
| Status Whiteboard and Keywords Added |
The Status Whiteboard and Keyword fields were added. Keywords are
selectable from a list of valid keywords. In addition, the blocks and depends on fields were also
added to the editor. Finally, the Votes field was modified to allow votes to be added/removed.
|
|
| Hyperlinking Support |
References to issues in comments are now converted to hyperlinks
that open the issue in the rich editor. Likewise, issues that appear in the blocks/depends on
fields are also hyperlinked.
|
|
| Subtask Support |
Mylyn has a feature called subtasks that allows you to see the
relationship between tasks. With Issue Tracker, any issue that an issue blocks will appear as
a subtask of that task in the UI. You can turn on this UI feature in the Task List view.
|
CollabNet CUBiT
|
| Explore CUBiT Manager Host |
You can now add your CollabNet CUBiT Manager host to the CollabNet
site view. This allows you to connect to the host and explore the projects and managed hosts that
are available for your domain. The plug-in integrates with the CUBiT browser interface to manage
and allocate hosts directly from Eclipse.
|
|
| SSH Support - manage tunnels |
The CUBiT plug-in leverages the SSH client support included with Eclipse.
This includes automated management of the tunnels needs to access CUBiT managed hosts. The plug-in
automatically creates tunnels when a new terminal is opened, but can also open (and remember) as many
tunnels as needed. For example, you might be testing a web application, and need to create a tunnel to
port 80 on your managed host.
|
|
| SSH Support - built-in terminal |
The CUBiT plug-in includes a fully functional SSH Terminal
from the Eclipse DSDP/TM project. This allows you to run an SSH Terminal from within the
Eclipse environment. No other clients are needed.
|
|
| External Client Support |
The CUBiT plug-in includes a fully functional SSH client and
Terminal, but you can also use an existing external client if you prefer. When accessing
a managed Windows host, the plug-in can launch an external Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
client. The plug-in will automatically create the SSH tunnel for the RDP plug-in and provide
it with the local port number to connect to.
|
|
CollabNet Subversion
|
| Subclipse 1.2.4 |
Subclipse 1.2.4 is now included. We have made a number of bug fixes and
enhancements to Subclipse. See the changelog
for a complete list of changes to Subclipse since the 1.2.2 release. This latest release also includes
the latest version of Subversion - 1.4.5. |
|
| New Tutorials/Cheatsheets |
CollabNet Subversion content has been added to the Tutorials section of the
Eclipse Intro/Welcome page. Use Help > Welcome to open this content and then select Tutorials. |
openCollabNet Integration
|
| Search view |
A new openCollabNet Search view has been created and added to
the CollabNet perspective. Existing users should run Window > Reset Perspective to add the
view to their perspective. This view makes it easy to search content on openCollabNet as well
as providing quick access to the most commonly visited areas on the site.
