Use Mylyn in Eclipse with Google Issue Tracker

To use Mylyn in Eclipse with Google issue tracker, go to help and install new software.  Enter the update site http://knittig.de/googlecode-mylyn-connector/update/ and install the connector.

Now choose in Mylyn to create a new task and your Google repository option will be there. Put in your project URL and Google credentials. Now when you add a task, it will offer the Google issue tracker as a repository.

The connector home page is here: http://code.google.com/p/googlecode-mylyn-connector/

 

UPDATE:

After messing around with this enough I realized the connector is not working.  First the login validation passed and when I tried to submit I got authorization errors.  I checked an had a typo in my credentials, yet the validation had told me the connection was working.  After I fixed the credentials, I got a new error “Submit Failed: system error retrieving feed” and so I have just figured out that I only see this when I have an empty description. Adding anything to the description makes the issue go away :-)

 

Using Subversion in Eclipse to access Google project hosting

To use Subversion in eclipse to access the Google project hosting, there are few steps sporadically documented on the web.  Here is what I did in a nutshell:

  1. Install SubClipse by selecting Help…Eclipse Marketplace.  Search on Subclipse and hit the install button.  After a bit you will have Subclipse ready to go.
  2. Go to https://code.google.com/hosting and you will find your project hosting password.  You’ll access your code using your Google account, but the password is generated and not the same as your normal Google account password.
  3. Open the Package Explorer and right click for a context menu. Select New … Other.  In the next dialog called “Select a Wizard” expand the SVN folder and select “Checkout Projects from SVN”.  Choose “Create a new repository location” and provide your Google SVN which is your project name and .googlecode.com/svn such as htttps://pmenuplanner.googlecode.com/svn.  Note that you will use HTTPS else with just HTTP your going get read only access.
  4. Ok, select a folder such as Trunk and in the next dialog choose “Check out as a project configured using the New Project Wizard”.  Select Finish and SVN will open the normal new project dialogue where you can select a project type i.e. java
  5. Once you complete the normal new project dialogues, SVN will create your project with a indication its under source control.  It probably created some starter folders and classes.
  6. Now you can commit the new files as a test of the solution.  Right click on the new project root and select Team … Commit.  SVN will now check in and commit all the files that were created by the new project wizard.
  7. From here your project is under source control.  If you create new files they will not automatically go under source control and will have an indication or the icon to let you know.  Right mouse click and select Team .. Add to version Control and the icon will change to show you its changed and not committed.
  8. Next time you select Team .. Commit, you changes will be uploaded to Google’s SVN repository.

Have a nice day !

pMenuPlanner

I am starting a new project at Google. It will be a personal menu planner that allows the home chef or private chef to plug in ingredients and calculate the nutritional value of the meal.
