Re: [eclipse-dev] [ANN] Bugzilla Plug-in

David,

These are not things that we have discussed
yet, mainly because we provide the CVS integration and not the Java tooling.
Adding a comment to a bug report about what files were included in the
fix (and their revisions) for a bug would be fairly easy and is something
we have considered. This should be enough to determine what has changed
since the actually code changed can be determined by comparing with the
previous revision.

Adding markup to code to point to bug
reports is interesting. We have toyed around with linking comments to bugs
using pattern matching and hyperlinks. A similar technique could be used
in a code editor but the code editor would need to support the ability
to plugin in pattern matchers. I wouldn't be surprised if JDT supported
this in some manner but I don't know enough about it to say for sure. Perhaps
someone in JDT can comment on whether this is possible.

Also, putting bug numbers in comments
and using a patten matcher as I describe above may also make your first
request possible since we could run a CVS annotate to get the comment and
then potentially link that to a bug report. Definitely something to consider.

I would like to see tight integration between the bugs view and the
source code, both ways.  I could click on a bug and add a comment
or
custom tag that indicates the bug associated with a particular section
of code.  Likewise, I'd like to be able to, from the source code,
open
the bug report for that associated bug.

You might already have something like this; if so, my apologies.
