Mylar for Eclipse Calms Chaotic Project Views
By Alex Handy
A free Eclipse plug-in available today, Mylar 1.0, seeks to bring calm
to chaotic and colossal development projects. Mylar swaps out traditional
project views in favor of dynamically created task-based groupings of files
and ephemera, giving developers a way to cluster the files they need.
Mylar is designed to observe a developer's actions. When a bug report is
checked, for example, a developer can click on each file referenced in the
related stack trace. Mylar will remember these files and associate them with
the bug report. The tool also will catalog all the other files touched
during the ensuing bug fixing. This information is then stored in either the
bug tracking system, or in the source code repository.
Later, if this bug is revisited, the developer working on the fix can bring
up a project view of only the files related to the task. The project view
offered through Mylar is a hierarchical tree based on tasks, rather than
simply on alphabetical order. Each task is dynamically modified as the user
works on it, adding necessary files and reports to the hierarchy. Therefore,
developers can quickly switch between tasks, bug fixes and refactoring
duties without having to search for the files they need to modify.
The tool can be downloaded at
