This page tells you how to set up your JIRA, Bamboo and Crucible servers as task repositories in Eclipse.

On this page:

Prerequisites

Before you can set up your task repositories for the Atlassian Eclipse Connector, you will need to do the following:

  • Install the Atlassian Eclipse Connector connector as described in the installation guide.
  • The Atlassian Eclipse Connector makes use of Mylyn's task-focused interface. Mylyn is shipped with the more recent versions of Eclipse.

    • If you do not already have Mylyn, it will be installed automatically when you install one of the Atlassian Eclipse Connector's features.
    • The Mylyn documentation includes a quick start guide.

Setting Up your Task Repositories

  1. In Eclipse Mylyn, open the 'Task Repositories' view. (In Eclipse, click 'Windows', 'Show View', 'Other' and select the 'Task Repositories' view from the 'Tasks' category.)
  2. Click the 'Add Task Repository' icon.
  3. The 'Add Task Repository' screen appears, as shown below:



  4. Now you can select and configure one or more of the task repositories and configure them to match your server(s). Below are instructions for each of the repositories available in the Atlassian Eclipse Connector.


Once you have set up a repository, it will appear in the Eclipse 'Task Repositories' view, as shown in the screenshot below:

Setting Up a Bamboo Task Repository

  1. On the 'Add Task Repository' screen (see above), select the 'Bamboo' task repository type and click 'Next'.
  2. The 'Bamboo Repository Settings' screen appears, as shown below:


  3. Enter the following information:
    • Server — The location (URL) of your Bamboo server.
    • Label — A descriptive name for your Bamboo server, e.g. 'Bamboo Extranet'.
    • User ID — The username you use to connect to your Bamboo server.
    • Password — Your password on the Bamboo server, matching the above username.
  4. Click the 'Refresh' button to verify the information you have entered. The connector will attempt to connect to the Bamboo server. It will also retrieve the latest list of build plans from the Bamboo server.
  5. Select the plans that you want the connector to watch.
  6. Click 'Finish' to save the changes.
  7. The new task repository appears in your Eclipse 'Task Repositories' view, as shown in the screenshot above.
  8. Next step: To see your Bamboo builds, open the 'Bamboo' view. (Select 'Window', 'Show View', 'Other', then open the 'Atlassian' folder.)

You can configure one or more Bamboo repositories, i.e. you can connect to more than one Bamboo server.

Setting Up a Crucible Task Repository

  1. On the 'Add Task Repository' screen (see above), select the 'Crucible' task repository type and click 'Next'.
  2. The 'Crucible Repository Settings' screen appears, as shown below:


  3. Enter the following information:
    • Server — The location (URL) of your Crucible server.
    • Label — A descriptive name for your Crucible server, e.g. 'Extranet Crucible'.
    • User ID — The username you use to connect to your Crucible server.
    • Password — Your password on the Crucible server, matching the above username.
  4. Click 'Finish' to save the changes.
  5. Eclipse Mylyn will prompt you to add a new query for the new Crucible repository. This is where you will choose your Crucible filter, to determine which reviews appear in your task list. You can do this now or skip this step and do it later. You can also add more queries later.
  6. The new task repository appears in your Eclipse 'Task Repositories' view, as shown in the screenshot above.

You can configure one or more Crucible repositories, i.e. you can connect to more than one Crucible server.

Setting Up a JIRA Task Repository

  1. On the 'Add Task Repository' screen (see above), select the 'JIRA' task repository type and click 'Next'.
  2. The 'JIRA Repository Settings' screen appears, as shown below:


  3. Enter the following information:
    • Server — The location (URL) of your JIRA server.
    • Label — A descriptive name for your JIRA server, e.g. 'JAC'.
    • User ID — The username you use to connect to your JIRA server.
    • Password — Your password on the JIRA server, matching the above username.
  4. Change the optional additional settings if necessary.
  5. Click 'Finish' to save the changes.
  6. Eclipse Mylyn will prompt you to add a new query for the new JIRA repository. This is where you will choose your JIRA filter, to determine which issues appear in your task list. You can do this now or skip this step and do it later. You can also add more queries later.
  7. The new task repository appears in your Eclipse 'Task Repositories' view, as shown in the screenshot above.

You can configure one or more JIRA repositories, i.e. you can connect to more than one JIRA server.
