Last week on our call I described the desire to create a rich UI in Eclipse to enable a Mylyn-OSLC-Automation connector. I'm providing some more information and a use case to describe this functionality.
Mylyn is the ALM framework within the Eclipse IDE[1]. One component of Mylyn is the Builds framework[2] which provides IDE integrations with build servers. It is likely that a Mylyn-OSLC Automation connector will be built to enable integration of OSLC-Automation enabled build systems, such as Eclipse Hudson. It is important that the OSLC-Automation specification enable such a use case without the use of delegated HTML UIs to allow for a rich UI experience in Eclipse (or some other IDE). I have outlined this use case as "Use Case 2: Trigger Execution of Automation Plan" on the Mylyn Automation Scenarios[3] page of the OSLC-Automation wiki. I am interested in commentary on how the existing specification may or may not be able to meet this use case. ----- 1. http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/ 2. http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/builds/ 3. http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/AutomationScenariosMylyn -- Lucas Panjer Software Engineer, Tasktop Sync and Cloud Services tasktop.com 778.588.6896 x116
