Hi,
Is there somewhere a good Mylyn tutorial available for version 3.0?
I have found several 2.x (short) tutorials but they are rather vague
about some of the more advanced topics of Mylyn, especially on
integrating tasks and contexts and changing contexts.
TIA
Joost

Much of that works the same way in Mylyn 3.0 as it does in Mylyn 2.x. The
UI is now slicker, and the new UI has some neat hyperlinking functionality
that makes working with tasks easier and faster.

Mylyn tracks your context automatically based on what you do in the UI. It
associates that context with your current active task. To get Mylyn to
start tracking, activate a task. You can later upload the context for a bug
to Trac so that other developers can use it if they need to work on the bug,
review your work, etc.
If you want to see how all of this looks in Mylyn 3.0, I recommend the
webcast link at the top of the Mylyn Getting Started page:
http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/start/.

I believe that if you activate the task, then select the resources from
the package view alt-click or open type dialog will add resources to the
context.
The context is just a collection of given resources in the ide.
Is there a tutorial for the workflow of Eclipse\Trac? I don't know try
google…
