Hi Mik and Sam, Thank you for sharing the current state of play. I hope someone can (quickly!) volunteer to step forward. Mylyn is and has been a key part of the workflow for very many developers.
I have raised this with the recently formed Eclipse IDE WG[1] and the Eclipse Planning Council[2] so that we can make the best cross functional decisions. Links should be correct once the archive is refreshed: [1] https://www.eclipse.org/lists/eclipse-ide-wg/msg00031.html [2] https://www.eclipse.org/lists/eclipse.org-planning-council/msg03378.html Thanks Jonah ~~~ Jonah Graham Kichwa Coders www.kichwacoders.com On Fri, 21 May 2021 at 16:14, Sam Davis <sam.da...@tasktop.com> wrote: > From: Mik Kersten <m...@tasktop.com> > Date: Fri, May 21, 2021 at 10:34 AM > Subject: Mylyn > To: <cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org> > Cc: Sam Davis <sam.da...@tasktop.com> > > > I wanted to give the group a heads up that there are issues with Mylyn > that could affect the simultaneous release. > > For context, Mylyn (originally Mylar) was a passion and PhD project of > mine that has been a part of the Eclipse ecosystem for 15 years now.
