Eclipse Mylyn integration for Redmine ( Eclipse Connector Plugin )
Redmine-Mylyn integration for Eclipse allows you to manage your Redmine issues straight from Eclipse.
Using the integration you can:
Redmine-Mylyn integration requires 2 components to work:
The Mylyn project in particular has always called the component that adds support for another server a "connector", and Redmine usually calls additional components "plugin" - alas, the original software project got this the wrong way around and called the server-side component a connector and the client side component a plugin. Confusion persists unto this day.
Install connector inside Redmine server
For Redmine 2.x install Connector from: http://danmunn.github.io/redmine_mylyn_connector/
For Redmine 3.x install Connector from: https://github.com/joaopedrotaveira/redmine_mylyn_connector
Enable REST API in Redmine server
This is required, because Eclipse plugin uses REST API to authenticate user and perform requests.
To enable REST API go to yours redmine Administration -> Settings -> Authentication tab and toggle on: Enable REST web service and press Save
Download latest release from GitHub releases: ZIP with built plugin as P2 repo
Install it into Eclipse using instructions from http://stackoverflow.com/a/16074606/498096 section "(1) auto install" - in summary:
Eclipse Menu -> Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> Archive
and then choose downloaded .zip file
Add Task Repository of type Redmine and provide redmine Url with Login and Password
To manipulate log levels for plugin classes, place your logback.xml file in following path:
{workspace}/.metadata/.plugins/net.sf.redmine_mylyn.common/logback.xml
In your custom logback.xml you can denote log file location using:
<file>${rmc.logfile}</file>
or
<file>${rmc.logdir}/redmine_connector_monday.log</file>
In both cases the log file will be created next to your logback.xml file, only the log filename will be different. FYI HTTP traffic is not logged through SLF4j/Logback, since http-commons-3.x uses Common Logging and the "jcl-over-slf4j" jar is not attached to this plugin.
Sample logback.xml content
<configuration>
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
<file>${rmc.logfile}</file>
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
<Pattern>%date %level %logger{10} %msg%n</Pattern>
</layout>
</appender>
<logger name="net.sf.redmine_mylyn" level="DEBUG" >
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
</logger>
</configuration>

Aim of this fork is to provide git mirror of above repository as well as place for my own work. Pull requests will be warm welcomed and served with cold beer ;).
