Duplicate Detectors

Mylyn provides an extension point that allows contributors to create duplicate detectors. Each duplicate detector can use its own algorithm to determine if any similar bugs exist in the bug repository.

org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.bugzilla.ide.StackTraceDuplicateDetector can be used as a reference implementation.

When you create a duplicate detector, you need to specify the extension in the plugin.xml file. Below is the entry from the org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.bugzilla.ide plugin.xml file, as an example.

<extension point="org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.duplicateDetectors">

 <detector class="org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.bugzilla.ide.StackTraceDuplicateDetector"
           name="Stack Trace">
 </detector>       

</extension>

The class attribute must be a subclass of org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.AbstractDuplicateDetector.

To create a duplicate detector you should:

• Create your duplicate detector class that subclasses org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.AbstractDuplicateDetector
• Create a subclass SearchHitCollector to query the repository for duplicates
• Within your duplicate detector class, override the public SearchHitCollector getSearchHitCollector(TaskRepository repository, RepositoryTaskData taskData) method to use your new SearchHitCollector
• Specify the extension (as shown above) in the plugin.xml file in the same plugin as your duplicate detector class and your subclass of SearchHitCollector.
