Revision as of 04:10, 29 May 2008

NOTE: Mylyn 3.0 changes are currently in progress, and we recommend building against the Mylyn 2.x stream. See bug 227660 for the plan and for details. If interested in API progress, we recommend adding a watch for this page and a CC for that bug.

Porting from 1.0 to 2.0

See the Mylyn Porting Guide 2.0

Porting from 2.0 to 3.0

| Remaining API bugs for 3.0

Pending Changes

This list is stale. Also see all source code tags titled "API-3.0"

• Refactor TaskActivationHistory into a TaskActivityManager that encapsulates both activity monitoring and activation history
• Merge ITaskActivityListener and ITaskActivityListner2
• Refactor ITaskActivityListener into ITaskActivationListener
• Move timing related methods to ITaskTimingListener
• AbstractTaskListPresentation: make API, remove coupling to TaskListView
• TaskGroup and TaskCategory: consider for API, refactor or combine
• consider merging TaskList.removeFromCategory() and TaskList.removeFromQuery()
• Move TasksUiPlugin.getIncomingNotification(..) and related private classes
• AbstractTask.setCompleted() needs changing, it has the problematic side effect of setting the completion date to the current time. bug 203875
• Remove AbstractInterestManipulationAction.isRemove(): deprecated
• Make IMonitoredWindow API and put alongside IContextAwareEditor
• Make API: InteractionContextScaling
• Rename AbstractTask.RepositoryTaskSyncState to AbstractTask.SyncState ("sync" is used commonly enough that we should be able to standardize on it in the API, replacing "synchronization/synchronize" where applicable).
• Add InteractionContextScaling parameter to IInteractionContextReader.readContext(..)
• Make a subset of InteractionContextManager API.
• Make TaskRepository.getUserName(), getHttpUser and getProxyUsername consistent
• Move highlighters stuff out of ContextUiPlugin
• Move to using the new public URLTransfer bug 100095
• Merge IInteractionContextListener and IInteractionContextListener2
• Move NewTaskFromErrorAction to be available to more EPP distros
• Delete UiUtil
• Move JavaStackTraceHyperlinkDetector out of java.ui See bug 217656

Plug-in Refactorings

• org.eclipse.mylyn.web.core is now org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.net
• Core classes from org.eclipse.mylyn.monitor.core was split in order to make API not coupled to the Monitor component be reusable independently, now in the new org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.core plug-in.
• org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui is a new API for common UI components that are not coupled to the rest of Mylyn.

Changed Team API
