Bugzilla and Mylyn

All known Eclipse bugs and feature requests are stored in a Bugzilla database Eclipse Bugs

The following explains how you could use Mylyn to work on Bugs and store your content in the bugreport.

Mylyn is a task management system and allows to store the context (source files) in a task. This way you can work on a certain task, switch to another tasks and return to the same tasks and all the files you worked on are re-opened.

Mylyn has build in support for the Eclipse bug database. Just right click in the "Task List" view and select New -> Query

Select "Eclipse" and press Next. Select "Create query" and if you know the bug already "Create query using form".

Lets assume you want to see all bugs for Eclipse 3.6 in PDE - UI then you could maintain the following query.

If you now activate a task you can use Mylyn to work on Eclipse bugs.
