Mylyn/Porting Guide

Revision as of 00:14, 4 May 2008 by Steffen.pingel.tasktop.com (Talk | contribs) (→Removed Tasks API)
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
There is currently no need to port Mylyn from the 2.0 APIs since current Mylyn releases are backwards compatible. Throughout the 2.x release cycle we will be using this wiki to gather changes and suggestions for improving the APIs for 3.0.
Pending Changes for Mylyn 3.0
Also see all tags of "API-3.0"
- Refactor
TaskActivationHistory
into aTaskActivityManager
that encapsulates both activity monitoring and activation history - Merge ITaskActivityListener and ITaskActivityListner2

: deprecated - Make
IMonitoredWindow
API and put alongsideIContextAwareEditor

InteractionContextManager
API. - Make
TaskRepository.getUserName()
