As we’re off skiing tomorrow (wahey!), I was setting up Hannah’s laptop with Eclipse PDT, and after installing Subclipse, I decided to have a go at setting up Mylyn to use my Trac install with the Mylyn Trac connector. It all went well until I tried adding the Trac repository, where it decided that it was invalid. A quick Google revealed the general concensus that Trac 0.11 (the most recent Trac version) doesn’t work with the Mylyn plug-in.
Thankfully, it turns out that this isn’t the case. It was a simple case of running:
easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/xmlrpcplugin/trunk/
Then restarting apache:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Now go into your Trac admin page, and enable XMLRPCSystem, XMLRPCWeb and all plug-ins with “.ticket” in the module name.
Now in Mylyn when adding your Task repository, specify the XML-RPC (rev 1950) access type along with the rest of your settings, and it’s as easy peasy as that.
There – I told you I’d blog something soon!
