This context is associated with the task that you have + activated. Mylar extends Eclipse structure views and editors to show + you only what you're working on by focusing on the task context, and to + highlight the degree of interest of the program structure that you are + working on. The following list and figure summarize the core Mylar + features. </p> + <ol> + <li>Use the task list to create tasks and categories. You can also + add a bugzilla report as a task, or create a bugzilla query as a + category. A task context is activated by clicking the gray + glasses, which causes the task and its category to become bold. + Note that tasks can show up in multiple categories (e.g. as a result of + a query, as in the figure below). To disable the context click the + glasses again. If you are using bugzilla reports you must + configure the Bugzilla server first (Preferences -> Bugzilla). If + you double-click a Bugzilla report it will open with the internal + browser, or with a Bugzilla Editor if you set Preferences -> Mylar -> + Task List accordingly.</li> + <li>Click the Mylar glasses to filter out all uninteresting elements + (i.e. those not a part of the task context), shown here on the Outline + view. You will notice that views with Mylar filtering update + automatically as you work. Toggle this button to switch between + the standard view mode and the Mylar interest filtering. If you + have no task context active and all of the Mylar glasses are toggled off + all of the Mylar functionality is disabled.</li> + <li>The Problems list can be filtered just like the outline.</li> + <li>The editor provides an automatic folding feature that can be toggled + using the toolbar button next to "Mark Occurrences". When enabled + all uninteresting elements will be folded, an interesting elements + unfolded. Note that if you use the Mylar Java editor for ".java" + files the highest interest elements will be moved to the top of the + content assist list.</li> + <li>Mylar filtering works in the Package Explorer as well. + Elements that are not a part of the task context show up in gray + consistently throughout the views. The highest interest elements, + called Landmarks, show up in bold. </li> + </ol> + <p><img border="0" src="images/overview.gif" width="640" height="461"></p> + <p> </p> + + </body> +</html> |
