Mylyn/Bugzilla Connector

Bugzilla Server Optimization

• Cached Repository Configuration - This page describs the solution taken by Eclipse.org webmasters to reduce the bandwidth requirements due to Mylyn clients updating their repository configuration.

GZIP encoding and content negotiation

The Mylyn Bugzilla Connector has been modified to accept gzip encoding on all requests, and will do content negotiation. See bug 205708.

Preventing excessive logfile fill up

• When running /bugzilla/ locally, one can prevent Mylyn filling up the log files by adding this to httpd.conf:

<DirectoryMatch /bugzilla/ >
    BrowserMatchNoCase mylyn mylyn=1
</DirectoryMatch>
CustomLog "/private/var/log/httpd/access_log" combined env=!mylyn

Langugage Configurations

Since Version 2.2 of Mylyn you can now add support for alternate languages via extension point:

org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla.core.languages

Here is an example definition for the English language (en (default)).

<extension 
        point="org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla.core.languages"> 
 <language name="en"> 
           <languageAttribute command="error_login" 		response="Login"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="error_login" 		response="log in"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="error_login" 		response="check e-mail"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="error_login" 		response="Invalid Username Or Password"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="error_collision" 	response="Mid-air collision!"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="error_comment_required" 	response="Comment Required"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="error_logged_out" 	response="logged out"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="bad_login" 		response="Login"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="bad_login" 		response="log in"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="bad_login" 		response="check e-mail"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="bad_login" 		response="Invalid Username Or Password"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="bad_login" 		response="error"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="processed" 		response="processed"/> 
           <languageAttribute command="changes_submitted" 	response="Changes submitted"/> 
  </language>
</extension>

Here is the detail description.

We have the following seven Commands defined in Mylyn:

Command	Class & Method	usage
error_login	BugzillaClient.parseHtmlError	detect login errrors
error_collision	BugzillaClient.parseHtmlError	detect a midair collision
error_comment_required	BugzillaClient.parseHtmlError	detect if a comment is required
error_logged_out	BugzillaClient.parseHtmlError	detect if the user is logged out
changes_submitted	BugzillaClient.parseHtmlError	changes are submitted (no real error)
processed	BugzillaClient.postTaskData	process was successful
bad_login	BugzillaTaskHistoryParser.retrieveHistory	detect bad login

For every Action there must be one or more responses.

Here is and example of where the English responses for a bugzilla-3.0.1 install were found.

File	Line	Text
template/en/default/bug/process/header.html.tmpl	37	processed
template/en/default/bug/process/header.html.tmpl	40	"Mid-air collision!"
template/en/default/global/user-error.html.tmpl	241	"Comment Required"
template/en/default/global/user-error.html.tmpl	822	"Invalid Username Or Password"
template/en/default/bug/process/results.html.tmpl	45	'bug' => "Changes submitted for $link"

Sorry for the other values we must find where the are defined of if it is save to remove them.

More is coming soon.
