Description/Features
Mylyn is a task focused UI for Eclipse that makes working with very large workspaces as easy as working with small ones. It supports task management and monitors your work activity to identify information relevant to the task-at-hand. Mylyn uses this task context to focus the Eclipse UI on the interesting information, hide the uninteresting, and automatically find what's related. This puts the information you need to get work done at your fingertips and improves productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation. By making task context explicit Mylyn also facilitates multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise.
Mylyn can be installed as a standalone Task List for managing personal tasks, with the Focused UI support for the Eclipse SDK to reduce information overload, and with one or more task repository connectors, including one for JIRA. See below for instructions how to install it and see the Mylyn user guide for more documentation.

On my blog I have posted the links to the required update sites.

Apparently I need JIRA 3.7
I have eclipse 3.3 with mylyn 2.2 and jira connector 2.2 with jira pro 3.4.1
I can attach a mylyn context and it shows up in a jira with a browser. However, it seems mylyn can retrieve it (lets say i pull up that task on another eclipse instance with same versions of eclipse, mylyn, jira connector).
In fact, Im not sure mylyn sees any jira task attachments.

Do I need to set up my local JIRA service so that Mylyn can talk to it? If so, how?

The plugin itself allows us to activate a task and starts tracking time spent on it until it is deactivated however it does not log this time in the JIRA issue as time spent. Are there any plans on enabling this feature? It really sucks to go into JIRA and log that time. I would really appreciate it if you could shed some light.
Ok, I just saw the comment above.

JIRA is using all the default date formats. (I had a similiar problem in a different JIRA instance, but I had changed the date formats)
Eclipse is current (3.3), Mylyn and the JIRA connector are current (2.3.2), the JIRA installation is current (3.12.2).
I looked for date config options within Mylyn and tracked down the request in the bug database to support custom date formats, but these are defaults.
any suggestions?

So the submit fails... I don't know if that can be solved at this point, so I changed the custom field to date picker.
I can now submit without issue. Date Time must not be supported.

1. Like Robert Quinn I get an Invalid date / time format. Expected dd/MMM/yy hh:mm a error. The problem with this is that there are no dates being submitted or required. This happens when we resolve issues. We do have a custom field on the resolve screen but its not a date and its not required. Not sure if this makes a difference.
2. The second problem is that when we submit changes through the plugin we get this error everytime: Unexpected error: Arguments to addParameter(String, String) cannot be null. Oddly enough this error can be avoided by selected a workflow action other than "Leave as..." If we select a new workflow action then the form will submit fine. However if we just want to post a comment on the issue and leave the current status the above error results everytime.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, we love this plugin and want to see it flourish!

I just installed Ganymede and Mylyn is there but the only repository listed during "Add Task Repository" is bugzilla. It isn't obvious how to install the JIRA connector.
Google came up with a few hits, including this one
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.mylyn/msg01204.html which seemed to suggest using http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/extras
I tried to install the connector by manually adding that update site, but there are conflicts...
Cannot complete the request. See the details.

I ended up using Software Updates > Available Software > Manage Sites and I added "Mylyn Extras" and "Mylyn for Eclipse 3.4", selecting the stuff I wanted and the update worked... mylyn is now at 3.0.1
However I still can only add Bugzilla. I must be missing a newly added config step, but preferences doesn't seem to have anything... so I'm stuck, if anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate a push in the right direction.
After restarting and searching and restarting and looking in the mylyn log, I realized that something wasn't right and no amount of trying was going to fix it. I started from scratch, reinstalled 3.4, then added the JIRA connector and upgraded mylyn... (i left off the trac connector, though i don't believe that was the problem). It now works!
Hopefully this might help someone else

I love this plugin but I am now seeing a problem trying to sync my task lists.
We recently upgraded to JIRA pro Version: 3.12.1-#299 (we were on something older before).
I am on Ganymede with jira connector 3.0.2-v20080918-1100-e3x on windows.
It worked with the older jira server. But now I am a seeing this error msg when i try to sync:
Unexpected result code 301 while running query
http://macroteam.drillinginfo.com/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?view=rssdecorator=nonetempMax=5000requestId=10490
A few things about this error message. If you chop off the tail end , requestId=10490, it starts to look like an ok url except that the port number is missing (my server cnn is configured as http://macroteam.drillinginfo.com:8081)
Maybe this is just a case where the error msg is slightly manged.
On the cnn screen, when I choose Validate, it does say it can connect. I am kindof at a loss.

First of all thanks for the post. I installed the mylyn-jira connector v3.0.4 in eclipse 3.3.1. My question is related to custom fields and creating a new task.
When I try and create a new task, I am not able to see custom fields- Module and Function. These are required custom fields so when I try to submit the task from within eclipse, I get a submit failed that says: Module is required.Function is required.
I saw that bugs have already been entered on this one but I am not sure if I understand that there is a fix. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

I've installed the latest Mylyn 3.1.0 v20090315-1500 with the Mylyn Connector : JIRA 3.1.0 v20090315-1500 and also have the Altalssian Eclipse Connector (recommended) BETA 1.0.0.I20090320-BETA installed. Generally speaking, everything works great and as documented. However, the one thing that I cannot get to work is the work log. I can see my existing work log, but cannot change it from within Eclipse.
According to the Atlassian JIRA Connector site (http://www.atlassian.com/software/ideconnector/eclipse.jsp) "you can start/stop progress and log work done against the issue you are working on, right from the task list in Eclipse". However, I can't seem to find any way of doing that. The Work Log pane shows me all the entries previously made, but there doesn't seem to be any way to accomplish that.
Am I missing something, or is the website wrong?
Thanks,
Eric

I have been using the mylyn jira plugin for ages with no issues. Just in the last couple of days though, it seems to have stopped working. I uninstalled all mylyn-related additional plugins for jira, then did a clean re-install (using ganymede3.4) so I now have the Mylyn Connector: JIRA (3.1.1.v20090411-0400-e3x) installed. Created a repository effortlessly, and it validated the settings correctly, and provided the correct fields when creating a query. However, when I go to create a query, it fails, giving the error dialog "Query Synchronization Failed" with text: Server error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: getAttribute: Session already invalidated. This error also appears in the query folder that was created and can be displayed in the Task List, i.e. it has an alert icon to its left, and the tooltip says the query has never been synchronized, and shows the same "Server error..." text.
Any ideas on why this is occurring? Is it possible that there is some session state set somewhere that I need to clear?
Thanks,
Andrew

Sorry for the late reply. As far as I can tell JIRA 3.5 actually contains a bug that might cause the problem. It might explain why it is not working for you (but I do not understand yet why it did work before).
So if somehow possible, updating to a newer JIRA version would be the best choice.
If it does not help or this is not an option, please raise a bug on bugs.eclipse.org with your description again (your first post, and including that you are using JIRA 3.5)
Thanks,
Thomas

if i use a new workspace then there is no problem to connect to the server.
any advices?
