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/

Single server for both Crucible and FishEye = single task repository

If you have a single server for both FishEye and Crucible, you should set up the Crucible task repository and then select the 'Crucible Server Contains FishEye Instance' option as described below. Due to Mylyn requirements, you cannot set up two separate task repositories for the same URL.

  1. On the Eclipse 'Add Task Repository' screen, select the 'Crucible' task repository type and click 'Next'.
  2. The 'Crucible Repository Settings' screen appears, as shown below:


  3. Enter the following information:
    • Server — The location (URL) of your Crucible server.
    • Label — A descriptive name for your Crucible server, e.g. 'Extranet Crucible'.
    • Disconnected — If necessary, you can tick this checkbox to disable a particular server without deleting it. This is useful if your servers are behind a firewall and you do not have access to them at a particular point in time.
    • User ID — The username you use to connect to your Crucible server.
    • Password — Your password on the Crucible server, matching the above username.
    • Save Password — Put a tick in the checkbox if you want to save your password on disk. Leave the checkbox unticked if you want to be asked for a password every time you start your IDE.
      (info) If you choose to save the password, it is stored on your computer in a file that is difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read.
  4. Click the 'Validate Settings' button to verify the information you have entered.
  5. Choose a 'Review Activation' setting. These settings determine what happens when you open a source code file from within the Crucible review editor in Eclipse. For example, you may open a Crucible review within Eclipse. The review will open in an Eclipse editor view, and its 'Review Files' section will show the files in the review. You can then click a file to open it in an Eclipse editor. The options are as follows:
    • 'Always' — The Crucible review will be automatically activated if you open a file from the Crucible review editor.
    • 'Never' — The Crucible review will never be automatically activated.
    • 'Prompt' (default) — When you open a file from the Crucible review editor, the connector will ask you whether you want to activate the Crucible review. This is the default setting.
  6. If your Crucible server is linked to a FishEye server:
    • Put a tick in the checkbox labeled 'Crucible Server Contains FishEye Instance'.
    • Set up your FishEye mappings, as described in the FishEye section of this documentation.
  7. Click 'Finish' to save the changes.
  8. Eclipse Mylyn will prompt you to add a new query for the new Crucible repository. This is where you will choose your Crucible filter, to determine which reviews appear in your task list. You can do this now or skip this step and do it later. You can also add more queries later.
  9. The new task repository appears in your Eclipse 'Task Repositories' view. Your Crucible reviews will appear in your 'Task List' view.

(info) You can configure one or more Crucible repositories, i.e. you can connect to more than one Crucible server.
