Mylyn-Mantis Repository Connector

Mylyn-Mantis Repository Connector (or just Mylyn for short) is a cool open-source tool that works on any platform. It’s built in Java and designed to connect with the popular Mantis bug tracker software right from your Eclipse IDE. So, you can manage your bugs without jumping around too much!

Easy Bug Management

This nifty plugin lets you update, sync, create tasks, and even comment on bugs—all from within Eclipse! Plus, you can download and upload attachments easily. No more switching back and forth between different tools.

Offline Access

One of the best features? You can access Mantis bug tracking data even when you’re offline! As long as you have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, it will work on any platform—GNU/Linux distributions, Windows, or Mac OS X. It’s been tested on both 64-bit and 32-bit hardware.

Installation Guide

If you're ready to get started with Mylyn-Mantis Repository Connector, first make sure you have the latest versions of Eclipse IDE and JRE or JDK installed on your GNU/Linux system.

Getting Mylyn Set Up

Copy that URL into Eclipse and hit Enter. This will let you choose which features to install—or just click ‘Select All’ if you're feeling ambitious!
