Abstract:
The Eclipse project Mylyn is the Task-Focused UI for Eclipse that reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy. It does this by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA. Once your tasks are integrated, Mylyn monitors your work activity to identify information relevant to the task-at-hand, and uses this task context to focus the Eclipse UI on the interesting information, hide the uninteresting, and automatically find what's related.

In this demo, Michael Coté of RedMonk talks with Mik Kersten, who demonstrates the JIRA connector for Mylyn. Mik shows how the JIRA connector is used to provide a rich, desktop interface for the JIRA issue tracker and then shows how the “self micro-managing” features of Mylyn layer on-top of JIRA.
