Mylyn connector for sourceforge feature/bug tracking system

Question

I haven't found any clear information about this around.

Is it possible to integrate the sourceforge tracking system for bugs/features with Mylyn?

I've found this page that seems a bit old (indeed the link for downloading the general connector does not work).

Anyone have a clue about this? It is possible to realise such a kind of connection?

Answer 1

Since I wasn't able to get it running – maybe it's because of Eclipse Luna or something else – I slightly modified Daniel's method which partially uses the REST interface:

Basic Configuration

1. Add the following parameters and appropriate values to the table unter Additional Settings section in the Properties for Task Repository dialog:
   • project – your so-called UNIX name of the project
   • tickets – the ticketing application, e.g. bugs or features
   • bearer_token – you need to set-up a bearer token as described in the Allura documentation
2. under Advanced Configuration, use:
   • Task URL: ${serverUrl}/p/${project}/${tickets}/ (the same as in Daniel's method)
   • New Task URL: ${serverUrl}/p/${project}/${tickets}/new (the same as in Daniel's method)
   • Query Request URL: ${serverUrl}/rest/p/${project}/${tickets}?access_token=${bearer_token}
   • Query Pattern: \{"summary":\s*"({Description}.+?)",\s*"ticket_num":\s*({Id}.+?)\}

Milestone query

To query tasks by milestones, use the following parameters in your Edit Query configuration:

• add a parameter milestone with e.g. M1 to the parameter table
• use the following Query URL: ${serverUrl}/rest/p/${project}/${tickets}/search?q=_milestone%3A${milestone}&access_token=${bearer_token}

Answer 2

Yes with the move of SourceForge to use Allura the configuration on the page you highlighted is outdated.

I posted details on getting the Web Template Connector to work for Allura at http://officefloor.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/allura-sourceforge-mylyn-connector/

The generic connector is now in the Mylyn incubator. Use this download site: http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/incubator/3.7 (for Eclipse 3.6, 3.7, 3.8)
