Accessing Jersey Issues Tracker using Eclipse IDE

It is pretty nice that Eclipse IDE meanwhile has integration for issues trackers. So if you like to access the Jersey Issue Tracker using Eclipse, here is how to do it:

  • If not already done, install the "Mylin" plugin, which provides core issue tracking functionality to Eclipse.
  • Go to http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/desktops/ and download "CollabNet Desktop".
  • Restart your Eclipse IDE.
  • Using "Windows > Show View... > Other..." open the view "Task Repositories" (found in the "Myling" folder).
  • In the view "Task Repositories" using right mouse click, execute "Add Task Repository".
  • From the selection which now pops up, select "CollabNet Issue Tracker" and press "Next >".
  • Add the following information:
    Server: https://jersey.dev.java.net
    Label: Jersey (or whatever you like, you can even leave it empty)
    User ID: your java.net user ID here
    Password: your java.net password here
    [X] Save Password can be checked for convenience
    Click "Validate Settings" and after a few seconds it should tell you that your password was correctly validated.
    If not, check the above values for typos.
    Click "Finish"
  • In the next step you can create a query. In this example, we'll create a query which shows all our bug reports already entered in the issue tracker:
    Select "Create query using form" which makes it easier for starters and click "Next >".
    As the "Query Title:" set "My Reports".
    Leave everything else blank but just set your java.net username in the field "User Name:" and click "Finish".
    After a few seconds you will see all your bug reports in the Task List view. Use your mouse to explore the possibilities, e. g. double click an item to open and edit it. But beware, Eclipse stores all changes back onto the server!
