Mylyn/Restructuring/2010

This document describes the restructuring of the Eclipse Mylyn project. We solicit additional participation and input from the Eclipse community. Please post questions and discussion items on bug 304957. Also see the original proposal.

Overview

Project Scope

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

• A task management tool for developers
• A broad ecosystem of Agile and ALM integrations
• The revolutionary task-focused interface

Project Priorities

The priorities of the Mylyn project are to provide:

1. Eclipse frameworks and APIs for ALM tools and the task-focused interface.
2. Exemplary tools for task-focused programming within the Eclipse IDE.
3. Reference implementations for open source ALM tools and open standards used by the Eclipse community.
