Mylyn follows the Eclipse conventions for [[Version_Numbering|version numbering]] and guarantees [[Evolving_Java-based_APIs|binary backwards compatibility]] for minor releases. Internals are binary backwards compatible between service releases.
  
−
The following changes are being considered but not yet implemented.
+
API enhancements can be tracked by searching the source code for the corresponding @since JavaDoc tags or by querying for bugs that have [api] in their summary.

+
−
**<code>getValidator(TaskRepository repository)</code> return an instance of <code>Validator</code>.
+
  
−
* <code>AbstractRepositoryTask</code> .....''updates in progress''
+
The Mylyn Commons components were restructured and provisional packages were promoted to API. Several bundle IDs, package names and extension IDs were changed in the process. Classes in provisional packages were kept but marked as deprecated and will be removed in a future release. None of the changes break API backwards compatibility but integrations that consumed internal packages or extensions points may need to be adapted.
−
** constructor now requires taskId (now immutable)
+
−
** getIdentifyingLabel() -> getTaskKey()
+
−
** getLastRefreshTimeInMinutes(Date) removed
+
−
** no more static methods (use RepositoryTaskHandleUtil)
+
−
** Replace this idiom:
+
−
    String handleIdentifier = AbstractRepositoryTask.getHandle(repository.getUrl(), taskId);
+
−
    ITask task = TasksUiPlugin.getTaskListManager().getTaskList().getTask(handle);
+
−
** with:
+
−
    ITask task = TasksUiPlugin.getTaskListManager().getTaskList().getTask(repository.getUrl(), taskId);
+
  
−
* <code>AbstractRepositoryTaskEditor</code>
+
The following bundles were renamed:
−
**<code>attributeChanged()</code> Anything that needs to be saved must be in attribute form and passed to this method. Most if this is all done for you but if you override AbstractRepositoryTaskEditor.createCustomAttributeLayout() then you will want to ensure that attributeChanged is called upon editing. Utility method createTextField() handles this call. 
+
−
** <code>createLabel()</code> Utility method  added. It will put an '*' at the front of the label if the attribute has been modified. Eventually this will be applied upon editing but currently only happens after re-freshing or re-opening the editor.
+
−
** <code>SECTION_NAME</code> is an enum that holds default titles for the default sections. To override these default titles, set the appropriate (SECTION_NAME, new name) in <code>alternateSectionLabels</code> on <code>AbstractRepositoryTaskEditor</code>.
+
−
** <code>updateEditor()</code> refreshes editor with new input in-place.
+
  
−
* <code>AbstractRepositoryQuery</code>
+
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.identity      -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.identity.core
−
** Constrctor no longer takes number of hits. Connectors can use QueryHitCollector.MAX_HITS (currently 5000) when setting max number of hits to return.
+
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.notifications -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.notifications.ui
 +
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories  -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.core
 +
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.team          -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.ui
  
−
* <code>AbstractQueryHit</code>
+
A complete list of renamed and added bundles can be found on bug 305782 on [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=305782#c13 comment 13].
−
** <code>setDescription(..)</code> renamed to <code>setSummary(..)</code>
+
  
−
*<code> AttributeContainer</code>
+
The following packages were renamed:
−
**<code>getAttributeFactory()</code> new method
+
  
−
* <code>DateRangeContainer</code>
+
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.identity    -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.identity.core
−
** getChildren() now returns set of underlying task objects (not DateRangeActivityDelegates which will be deprecated)
+
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.core
−
** getDateRangeDelegates() returns the delegate formerly returned by getChildren()
+
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui.team      -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.ui
  
−
* <code>ITaskListElement</code>: now extends <code>java.lang.Comparable</code>, so Collections support of sorting can be used, since task list elements have a natural ordering. Default implementations are provided for tasks and containers. ([https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=171590 bug 171590])
+
The following provisional packages were promoted to API (see {{bug|360301}}):

Changes in 3.12

Changes in 3.11

Changes in 3.10

None.

Porting from 3.8 to 3.9

Porting from 3.7 to 3.8

No API changes that affect integrators.

Porting from 3.6 to 3.7

Mylyn Commons

  • bug 305782 Restructuring of Mylyn Commons features

The Mylyn Commons components were restructured and provisional packages were promoted to API. Several bundle IDs, package names and extension IDs were changed in the process. Classes in provisional packages were kept but marked as deprecated and will be removed in a future release. None of the changes break API backwards compatibility but integrations that consumed internal packages or extensions points may need to be adapted.

The following bundles were renamed: 

org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.identity      -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.identity.core
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.notifications -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.notifications.ui
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories  -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.core
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.team          -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.ui

A complete list of renamed and added bundles can be found on bug 305782 on comment 13.

The following packages were renamed: 

org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.identity     -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.identity.core
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.core
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui.team      -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.ui

The following provisional packages were promoted to API (see bug 360301): 

org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.provisional.commons.core        -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.core
org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.provisional.commons.ui          -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui
                                                           -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.workbench
                                                           -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.workbench.browser
                                                           -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.workbench.editors
                                                           -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.workbench.forms
                                                           -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.workbench.search
org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.provisional.commons.ui.actions  -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui
org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.provisional.commons.ui.commands -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.workbench.texteditor
org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.provisional.commons.ui.dialogs  -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui.dialogs
org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.provisional.commons.ui.editor   -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.workbench

In some cases provisional packages do not map directly to API packages but classes were distributed among several packages.

The following extension points have moved: 

org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.team.newWizards -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.ui.newWizards

The following extension IDs have changed: 

org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.team.navigator.Repositories -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.ui.navigator.Repositories
org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.team.category               -> org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.ui.category.Team
