The Help -> Report Bug or Enhancement is effectively useless #338
Comments
Perhaps the relevant UI contribution shouldn't enable unless a provider is installed? |
@merks , @nitind : Currently there is only one provider in org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla.ide (see the definition of the extension point in plugin.xml). |
Anything that's in the menu and looks inviting but then is useless is probably going to make people shake their heads... |
There should be a special table item "Install more providers... ", acting as a launcher for install action |
@jonahgraham Given bugzilla at eclipse is on the way out, we should not have the in packages if it typically useless. |
+1 to removing it - I will create a bug to review and figure out how to remove from EPP if it is still there later in the release cycle. eclipse-packaging/packages#102 FWIW it is equally as dated as the Help -> Contribute that directs to https://www.eclipse.org/contribute/ which is mostly simply dated. eclipse-packaging/packages#103 |
Why bugzilla outage should be a reason to remove this functionality at all? Let's reroute it to GitHub and GitLab where Eclipse projects are hosted now, as suggested by @BeckerFrank above. |
We only mention that because the comment was that bugzilla was the only provider. If there is GitHub/GitLab that would be helpful! |
From memory when I was contributing to Mylyn more actively: The Goal was/is to make it easier for people to report issues and allow a more data driven approach to bug fix prioritization. As intermediaire solution: |
Reroute Mylyn, Platform and PDE from Bugzilla to GitHub
Reroute Mylyn, Platform and PDE from Bugzilla to GitHub
@jonahgraham I did a reroute for Mylyn, Platform and PDE from Bugzilla to GitHub and this is a part of Mylyn 4.2.0 M2 contribution to SimRel. |
Yes! and wonderful. eclipse-packaging/packages#102 |
Thank you @jonahgraham for verification! I hope we can close this one @merks and open others for particular Eclipse Project to appear in the wizard. |
Great job. 👏🏿 |
It's empty:
so not only kind of unless, it creates a bad impression:
