Redmine 2.3.2 versus Eclipse Indigo 3.7 or Eclipse Juno #27

Hi, I've installed on server Redmine 2.3.2 with plugin redmine_mylyn_connector 2.8.2.stable.

I triy to link Eclipse with Redmine but it does not work, neither with Eclipse Indigo or Eclipse Juno. I've installed the plugin 0.4 with instruction on page https://github.com/ljader/redmine-mylyn-plugin.

Is there anything else to do?

Do the plugin "plugin redmine_mylyn_connector" and "plugin redmine_mylyn_plugin" are the same?

Thank for help

I have the same problem with Eclipse Kepler and Mylyn 3.9.1, I’m unable to log in. At which point does your problem happen?

As far as I understand, Redmine Mylyn connector has been dropped/abandoned and development has continued here as “Redmine Mylyn plugin”.

If you have the same problem, add your Redmine repository using the REST API key (a user-unique hexadecimal string that is attached to each request to make authentication automatic).

To enable REST access in Redmine, go to Administration -> Settings -> Authentication and check Enable REST web service. Once this is done, access your My account (link is usually on the top right) and look on your sidebar for API access key, where there’s a Show link to reveal it.

Copy it and paste it in the credentials dialog window when you add a Redmine repository.

Excelent with the API key works

the plugin "plugin redmine_mylyn_connector" and "plugin redmine_mylyn_plugin" are the same

There are two parts you need for it all to work

  1. A Redmine plugin for the server
  2. A Mylyn connector for the client

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.

The other thing that causes confusion is that the two pieces of software are maintained by different groups of people in different repositories, not even grouped as one project.

TBH, the whole project needs reorganizing, there needs to be a more structured approach to following the API changes to the main Redmine project, etc. But the people working on it are a loose collective of people scratching their own itches, so this is a bit much to ask.

@alfonsomunozpomer and @ogarzonm Enabled REST web service is required for Redmine-Mylyn integration to work. Having that enabled, the both methods: API key an user/password will work.

I've updated installation description in README.md so I'm closing this issue.
