| Re: [epp-dev] Say goodbye to Mylyn? |
I for one use Mylyn Tasks daily. It's one of Eclipse's killer features. But it does need an UI update and maybe some evangelism for people to realise how useful it is. Have you discussed this with the Mylyn PMC?

If you want your package to still include Mylyn, please just answer this message or on the Gerrit patch before I merge it ;) > > Cheers > -- > Mickael Istria > Eclipse IDE developer, for Red Hat Developers > _______________________________________________ > epp-dev mailing list > epp-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this list, visit https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/epp-dev
