Redmine

Redmine-Mylyn-Connector was the best I knew :(
I also can not imagine (from the developers point of view) using Redmine without Eclipse+Mylyn.

Redmine is awesome but connecting bugs and tasks with my task list and code is a key issue.

Sad to say, but this connector was the most important factor in my decision about switching to Redmine.

Funny... for me this connector was the main risk when deciding pro Redmine... just because it looked like a unstable one-person project that was not part of the official Mylyn release. A risk that has realized now. The availability of the generic web connector (which was like a configurable html scraper) reduced the risk to a level acceptable for me. Too bad both failed.

Currently I am working with Trac, but it is lacking a lot of the usability of Redmine :-(. I want to switch back but not at the cost of losing IDE integration.

If you're interested, there's an old bug open for that in the Eclipse Bugzilla.
You are all welcome to vote for it.

I'm not sure it will help. These bugs usually don't get handled unless somebody has a clear interest. Perhaps as a part of SoC.

It seems that something has moved forward: [[https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2932068&group_id=228995&atid=1075435]]

I tested the new release and it works just fine with 0.9.1 (still didn't update my server to 0.9.2).

Hi,
I am new to red mine and eclipse integration .. i have several problem after installed the Mylyn connector. i am not able to attach the files from local to red mine repository.could you please provide some details about this.thanks in advance.

please suggest any other plugin is available.

Can you attach files in Redmine or this is just the problem with the connector?

thanks for the reply,I can upload files in Redmine through browser.But i am unable to load the attachments inside the eclipse,May be plugin issue.

• How can i set the eclipse spent time as red mine task spent time in my repository?? please suggest. thanks in advance

it looks like the Redmine-Mylyn-Connector project is quite dead

Just for the record, it doesn't look that dead anymore - it actually works for me:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/redmin-mylyncon/2011/07/24/upcoming-support-for-eclipse-3-7-and-redmine-1-2/

I's active ..my bug reports got fixed 4 weeks ago. Sven tries to keep it up.

Unfortunately the binaries are no longer available since some idiot decided to report Sven to Sourceforge for not including the source code. If someone can step up to the plate and offer space for an update site that can be accessed via Eclipse, that would be great for those of us who aren't java programmers.

I've just sent a patch to sven to let the plugin work with Redmine 1.3.0 (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3459347&group_id=228995&atid=1075435)

The web site states: "As of 2012-04-15, this project is no longer under active development."

It also states that if someone wants to take over, the should contact Sven.

Maybe someone wants to keep it going?

The Eclipse plugin is available again as Eclipse Update site, but the redmine plugin is not - only "as source" repository

That is new to me. I think the first step is to move that code to github.

I tried to clone git repo with no sucess. Can someone help?

git clone git://redmin-mylyncon.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/redmin-mylyncon/redmin-mylyncon
Cloning into 'redmin-mylyncon'...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
<pre>

There is also a repo at https://github.com/danmunn/redmine_mylyn_connector.git - although this code base has been tinkered with to ensure the plugin runs with Redmine 2.0

Try:
