Solution

  • Here is the homepage for Mylyn: http://eclipse.org/mylyn/

    Here is a summary description (taken from that page):

    Mylyn is the task and application lifecycle management (ALM) framework for Eclipse. It provides:

    • The revolutionary task-focused interface

      Realigns the IDE around tasks so that you see only the code that's relevant

    • A task management tool for developers

      Averaging 1 million downloads/month, Mylyn is the most popular IDE tool for ALM

    • A broad ecosystem of Agile and ALM integrations

      Dozens of extensions integrate Mylyn with ALM and developer collaboration tools

    Hope that helps.
