I've got trac working with mylyn (in eclipse obviously) through xmlrpc. Yay for six hours of my life. I can attach and retrieve context to tasks in trac.
Question setup: I have a project checked out into two workspaces. In workspace 1, I activate a task, open some files, edit some stuff, commit the changes to svn, and attach the context to the task.
In workspace 2, I update from svn, retrieve the context of a task and activate it. The correct files show in the Package Explorer (on the left), but the files (which I left open in workspace 1) do not open automatically and the cursor isn't placed at the last edit point.
Is it possible to get trac working that way? I checked this test project out from svn into two different workspaces in the exact same way to test this functionality out - I read something about project names needing to be the same so I eliminated that variable. It seems as if the way it's working now is still pretty great, but it would be even better if I could get it that last step.
ps question: I didn't setup the postcommit hooks from svn to trac yet because it seems like all they do is update ticket status for you. Am I missing some other cool thing they can do, or maybe updating ticket status is a bigger deal than I think it is?
