Introducing the Rational Team Concert Mylyn Connector

Tasktop’s new Rational Team Concert (RTC) Mylyn Connector brings the benefits of task management to the growing number of developers using RTC. This enables developers to instantly resume their coding session when switching RTC work items, automatically track and update time estimates on user stories, and link between RTC and more than 50 ALM integrations provided by the Mylyn ecosystem. This “Ready for IBM Rational Software” validated connector complements Team Concert’s Eclipse integration by re-organizing the development environment around RTC tasks, such as work items.

The RTC connector will be available for early access on June 7th. Contact us to evaluate the RTC Connector in your environment.

P4Mylyn: Perforce Mylyn Connector

P4Mylyn automatically tracks the context of Perforce-managed assets related to each Perforce Job or task in any defect or project management system with a Mylyn connector. This makes it easy to commit to Perforce only the relevant changes when working on multiple tasks. Automatically generated commit comments link to the active task, creating seamless code-to-task navigation and traceability. P4Mylyn also supports ‘Jobs’, Perforce’s built-in defect tracking system, making it a first class part of the IDE. P4Mylyn is available now and will be installable with one click in the next release of Tasktop Pro. Learn more.
