RE: [mylyn-integrators] Multi bugtrackers project

["Tom Bryan (tombry)" <tombry@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure whether I understand your question.  You may need to give a
more concrete example.  Or perhaps you are just confused about how Mylyn
works.  

Mylyn provides Eclipse with the concept of tasks that exist as top-level
entities in the workspace.  Tasks are not part of any project.  The
Mylyn Task List provides a project-independent container for the tasks.

Tasks must exist outside of projects because one task's context may
refer to files from more than one project.  Many applications,
especially Eclipse plug-in features, consist of several separate Eclipse
projects.  To complete one task, the developer may need to modify code
in multiple projects.  It wouldn't really work if tasks were contained
in an Eclipse project.

You can even have tasks with no projects.  That is, you can have a
workspace with zero projects that has a Task List with tasks from 3
different repositories.
