Re: [mylyn-dev] Bug or Feature
|
Hi Eric!
The reason is that Mylyn by default thinks that if you have closed
your editor, then you have lost the interest in it, even if it was a
landmark. You can disable this feature via Window > Preferences >
Mylyn > Context - disable Manage open editors with task context. But
this may cause that your context will be overloaded soon. As far as I
know Mylyn is about showing you resources you have been working
lately, not about showing all you resources you have been working with
(guys, correct me, if I am wrong). You will notice, that if you don't
work with a class for a while, then it will also disappear from the
context. There was a discussion on this topic before
(http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t92477.html), maybe that
will help you.
Nevertheless, I think it would be a good idea to explain explicitly
this feature (if not yet?), since that is the most common question
I've asked so far at my site.
With best wishes,
Jevgeni Holodkov

Hi.
In the Europa release, I observe the following behavior which is
unintuitive to me but I am still not 100% sure whether it's a bug or I
am actually Mylyn in a way it's not meant to be used.
The problem is that Mylyn seems to remove all information from the
context for items in resources that I close.
To reproduce this scenario:
- Create a new task and enable it.
- Open some resources (e.g. Java source files), edit some code, etc.
... The edited methods show up in the (filtered) package explorer.
- Now close all open editors. Mylyn removes all those items from the
context (i.e. they are not shown any more in the package explorer.)
Does that mean that whenever I close a resource, it is automatically
deemed unimportant? I am really used to trying to keep my workbench
from trying to become flooded and hence I close open editors quite
frequently. Hence, this behavior seems pretty unintuitive to me.
Any suggestions on this?
Cheers,
Eric
