bug hyperlinking in source? [message #10978]

I know that the bug#xxx notation used in the rich client can be clicked
for instant hyperlinking. But can Mylin also add this hyperlinking to
the various text editors, so that a TODO comment that indicates the
exact location for an edit can link directly to the Task using bug#xxx
notation. This is not just for Java source but also XML etc.

Every project would need an attached default bug repository, but
overrides should be possible.

It would mimic somehow the Mac old data detectors. Is this feasible?

It wouldn't be out of the question to link the two things together, but AFAIK not done at the moment. Would you mind filing an enhancement request at https://bugs.eclipse.org?

Yup, as Alex points out you can already do this and it is enabled by
default for textual editors in the SDK (look for references to
"hyperlink" in http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/new/). Note that this is an
Eclipse 3.3 feature only.

To clarify, what I meant to say is "as Alex points out Eclipse 3.3
already supports doing this and Mylyn already implements these hyperlink
detectors".

Hi Mik,

Thanks for the pointer. Still there is something strange: after some
edits I get the hyperlink with a command-hover.
But when I search for bug# using text search and open the file, there is
no hyperlink.
Are the hyperlinks in some way restricted to 'in current context' or
type of comment or excllusive with TODO task labels?

FYI, I use comments such as:
// TODO set step to arrive at a reasonable number of labels, bug#184

I'll try and reproduce and come up with a repeatable test case.

Maarten, I just wrote a FAQ entry that could describe your problem
(missing association between project and task repository). Please take
a look and post if that does not resolve it:
