Part one focuses on an overview of Mylyn’s task management features including offline editing, background synchronizations and change notifications with demos of how these work for Bugzilla and JIRA. Part two is an overview of how Mylyn’s frameworks can be extended when building IDE, desktop, and server-side applications.

Enterprise Development Tools for Spring
Published February 24th, 2009 Under Architecture, Coding, Open Source Tools | Leave a Comment
Spring IDE is the proven standard toolset for doing Spring development within the Eclipse Platform. It supports Spring’s core programming model and the board range of open-source Portfolio Products. With the SpringSource Tool Suite additional value-added features have been introduced that combine Spring IDE and Eclipse Mylyn to significantly streamline the development process and help making SpringSource best-practice knowledge and recommendations available to developers while working in their IDE. This session will introduce the different tool products from SpringSource and will outline their benefits.
How Mylyn Changes the Way I Develop

Mylyn is an Eclipse project that gives tasks first-class status in the developer workspace. In this presentation Bjorn will show how task focused programming simplifies his (developer) life. Mylyn makes it easier for him to maintain focus while switching between tasks and to collaborate on tasks with geographically and time-zone disparate developers. Fair warning though: once you’ve started using Mylyn, you never want to return to the old ways.
Bjorn is the Director for Committer Community at the Eclipse Foundation, a position that is tailor-made for someone with his keen interest and experience in building high-quality software with geographically distributed teams. He has dabbled in applications and user interfaces, but returns, like the swallows to San Juan Capistrano, to his three foci: hardware, software and process (embedded devices, programming languages and software engineering). Bjorn has worked for OTI, Amazon.com, Rational and Gemstone, along with a career as a university professor. He has an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Washington, and is happy to talk at length about his passion for orienteering and/or his love of flying.
