System Requirements

Version Matrix

The Atlassian Eclipse Connector is compatible with the following software versions:

  Atlassian Eclipse Connector 1.0 or later
Bamboo 1.x
2.x recommended
Crucible 1.6 or later
We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of Crucible 1.6.x for best results.
Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) or later
3.4 (Ganymede) recommended
JIRA 3.4 or later

Other Dependencies
  • 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.
  • The Atlassian Eclipse Connector now includes the JIRA Mylyn connector, which was previously available as a JIRA-only connector.
  • The connector's Crucible review functionality integrates with Subversion and Subclipse for source control and file retrieval.
Crucible code reviews for Subversion with Subclipse only
Currently the Atlassian Eclipse Connector supports code reviews only where you version your project under SVN using Subclipse. The connector does not (yet) integrate with Subversive. We intend to add support for other SCMs, such as CVS, via the connector's integration with Crucible, so that the connector will support the SCMs which Crucible supports.
