As of June 1, 2015, the IDE Connector documentation will no longer be maintained by Atlassian. See https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2015/06/discontinuing-ide-connectors-support/ for more information. We will also be making this documentation available for our open source community here: http://atlassian-docs.bitbucket.org/

With pleasure, Atlassian presents the Atlassian Eclipse Connector 1.0.

The Atlassian Eclipse Connector builds on Mylyn's task-focused interface to integrate your Eclipse IDE closely with your JIRA issues, Crucible code reviews, FishEye repository views and Bamboo builds. With the earlier beta release we announced the improved connector resulting from the collaboration between Atlassian and Tasktop. Now we are delighted to present the production-ready 1.0 release.

What's new since the beta release?

  • Use the new integration with Atlassian FishEye to open a source file in FishEye's web interface directly from Eclipse, or to copy a FishEye URL to your clipboard and share it with others.
  • Conduct your Crucible code reviews when versioning your project under SVN with Subversive or under CVS. Of course, the existing integration with Subclipse is also still available.
  • Create a Crucible review from within Eclipse, for uncommitted code ('patch') or committed code ('changeset').
  • Publish a draft review comment.
  • Edit and remove existing comments.
  • Assign reviewers without leaving Eclipse.
  • Choose your favorite Bamboo builds as defined on the Bamboo server.

In the JIRA and Bamboo integrations we have focused on refactoring and bug-fixing, based on the results of testing the beta version.

Highlights of this Release:

Crucible Reviews in Eclipse

Enjoy Crucible's lightweight workflow to conduct code reviews within your IDE.
