Missing the obvious? How to generate Task Activity report [message #63616]

Apologies for a stupid question but i can't seem to find where i can
generate a Task activity report (task time for date range).
I installed UI Reporting from the incubator but can't seem to find how to
activate it.
A pointer in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Anybody?
The reporting feature is installed. I've been looking everywhere but
can't find a control to generate a Mylyn activity report for a particular
date range.
Thanks in advance.

Hi

Task Activity Report wizard can call the wizard by operating
"New" > "Other..." > "Tasks" tree > "Task Activity Report (Experimental)".

But, the Task Activity Report editor doesn't open even if the wizard is
completed.
This is because of operating by a wrong editor ID value.

I think that it can evade by doing as follows.

1) Extract plugin.xml from org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.ui_xxxxx.jar
2) The line is added as follows to plugin.xml

Line 242 or more

==Before==
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
class=" org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.sandbox.ui.planner.TaskActivityEd itorPart "
contributorClass=" org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.tasks.ui.editors.TaskEditorAction Contributor "
icon="icons/eview16/task-list.gif"
id="org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.editors.planning"
name="Task Planner"/>
</extension>

==After==
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
<editor
class=" org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.sandbox.ui.planner.TaskActivityEd itorPart "
contributorClass=" org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.tasks.ui.editors.TaskEditorAction Contributor "
icon="icons/eview16/task-list.gif"
id="org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.editors.planning"
name="Task Planner"/>
<editor
class=" org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.sandbox.ui.planner.TaskActivityEd itorPart "
contributorClass=" org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.tasks.ui.editors.TaskEditorAction Contributor "
icon="icons/eview16/task-list.gif"
id="org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.pageFactory.Planning"
name="Task Planner"/>
</extension>

3) The editted plugin.xml is stored (replace) in
org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.ui_xxxxx.jar
4) Re-start eclipse.exe with -clean option

Thanks

Hiroyuki

fyi, Tasktop builds on Mylyn and includes comprehensive time tracking
and reporting facilities. Tasktop, and many other Mylyn extensions are
outlined on the Extensions wiki page:
