Hi,

is there any documentation on how Mylyn measures task active time
(planning section of each task)? I would like to use it to keep track of
the amount of work I do, but often I let Eclipse run overnight and
sometimes forget to deactivate a particular task. Does Mylyn notice when
the screensaver goes on? I searched bugzilla and according comments on
bug 120374 it probably should, but I'd appreciate some official explanation.

Also, is there any way to view task time in a calendar (e.g. how much
time was spent working on a particular task on a certain day)? Is such a
functionality planned? Is it even possible to reconstruct that
information? I had a look in the activity.xml, and it seems to keep
track of individual activations and deactivations of tasks, so I think
it could be possible to do that.

Regards,
Kim

Hi Kim,

The task activity timing facility currently has a timeout of 30s. If you
leave the task active over night the time will not be added.

Improving activity time reporting will be a top level theme in the Mylyn
3.0 plan. Currently there are a few options. As you mentioned the time
spent is reported on the planning page. Additionally the tooltips over
the day categories within the scheduled presentation mode of the Task
List report cumulative times for the tasks within.

There are also some experimental reporting facilities in the sandbox
(available from extras update site); the task activity report available
via File > New > Mylyn > Task Activity Report; the task activity view
available via Window (menu) > Show View > Other > Mylyn Sandbox > Task
Activity.

The major draw back to these reporting facilities is that the time
reported is the total cumulative time for the task regardless of date
range. A report of how much time was accumulated on a particular day is
possible (as you observed) and we will be improving on this for 3.0.
This work is being tracked on:

183826: [activity] Task Activity Report shows total elapsed time, not
elapsed time for report period.
