== Mylyn (Top-level project) ==

This project will no longer contain source code, all of which will move into sub-projects with the exception of cross-project releng and testing support.

The proposed sub-projects and their committers are listed below.  Committers not currently on the Eclipse Mylyn project are described.  The sub-projects will actively support interested parties earning commit rights.

==== Committers ====

Super set of all sub-project committers with Mik Kersten as the project lead.

==== Components ====

* Bugzilla: Releng, Website
* CVS: 
** releng/ org.eclipse.mylyn, org.eclipse.mylyn.releng, org.eclipse.mylyn.sdk, org.eclipse.mylyn.tests

== Tasks ==

The scope of this project is integration with Agile, issue, bug and defect tracking servers.  The project provides rich task editing, task list management and offline synchronization for ALM servers.  The Tasks project is the central portion of the ALM integration framework used by Mylyn.  Individuals listed as "New Contributors" have stated their intersted in contributing to the project.

== Context ==

The scope of this project is the implementation of usage monitoring, degree-of-interested modeling and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task-focused_interface task-focused interface] implementation for Eclipse, which re-aligns the IDE user interface around tasks and provides features such as workspace focusing and one-click multitasking.

== Builds (Incubation) == 

The scope of this project is Eclipse integration of continuous integration and build systems.  This is a new project that includes existing Eclipse.org committers who will collaborate on extending Mylyn’s build system APIs.

The objective of this project is to provide users of the Mylyn task-focused interface with seamless access to software build and assembly technologies. Mylyn users will be able to access continuous integration processes, control build execution and associate build results with tasks and context.  An open, framework approach will be used, enabling integration of leading technologies within the build domain. Fully capable reference implementations of major functional components such as continuous integration (Hudson), build execution and orchestration will be provided, along with necessary frameworks and abstractions for integrating alternative implementations. Existing Eclipse technologies will be relied on to the extent consistent with the project's overall scope and objectives. 

==== API ====

* [[Mylyn/Integrator_Reference#Build_API | org.eclipse.mylyn.build]]

==== UI ====

== Reviews (Incubation) ==

The scope of this project is to provide Eclipse-based code review functionality that's seamlessly integrated with the Tasks and SCM systems supported by Mylyn. This sub-project will combine the new [http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/mylyn-reviews/Mylyn_Reviews_Creation_Review.pdf Mylyn Reviews] project from INSO and the Review for Eclipse (R4E) tool from Ericsson, which provides Eclipse integration for Agile code reviews, the formal IEEE code review process, review reports with BIRT and aim to support many Eclipse artifact for review s, e.g. JDT (Java files), CDT (C/C++ files), EMF (models).
