Full Description
The Atlassian Connector for Eclipse is an Eclipse plugin. It allows you to work with the Atlassian products within your Eclipse IDE. Now you don't have to switch between websites, email messages and news feeds to see what's happening to your project and your code. Instead, you can see the relevant JIRA issues, Crucible reviews and Bamboo build information right there in your development environment.
Components
The Atlassian Connector for Eclipse is a plugin that you will install and configure in Eclipse.
Version Matrix
The Atlassian Connector for Eclipse is compatible with the following software versions:
|
Atlassian Connector for Eclipse |
Bamboo |
1.x
2.x recommended |
Crucible |
1.6 or later
We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of Crucible 1.6.x or 2.x for best results. However, please note that the new features of Crucible 2.0 are not reflected in the connector, such as iterative reviews, read/unread support, etc. Existing Crucible 1.6.x functionality will work when you connect to a Crucible 2.0 server. |
Eclipse |
3.4 (Ganymede)
3.5 (Galileo) |
FishEye |
1.6 or later
We recommend that you upgrade to the latest version of FishEye 1.6.x or 2.x for best results. |
JIRA |
3.4 or later
3.7 or later recommended
Ensure that JIRA SOAP/RPC services are running on the JIRA server (i.e. enable the RPC plugin) |
Mylyn |
The Atlassian Connector for Eclipse makes use of Mylyn's task-focused interface. Mylyn is shipped with the more recent versions of Eclipse. The Atlassian Connector for Eclipse requires Mylyn 3.2.x or Mylyn 3.3.x.
- If you do not already have Mylyn, it will be installed automatically when you install one of the Atlassian Connector's features.
- If you already have Mylyn installed, please check your version of Mylyn. If your version of Mylyn is earlier than 3.2, please upgrade to Mylyn 3.3.x.
- The Atlassian Connector for Eclipse now includes the JIRA Mylyn connector, which was previously available as a JIRA-only connector.
- The Mylyn documentation includes a quick start guide.

Subversion |
For Crucible reviews and FishEye source repository viewing, the connector integrates with Subversion using Subclipse or Subversive for source control and file retrieval.
 | Note: Install either Subclipse or Subversive integration option, not both When selecting components of the Atlassian Connector for Eclipse, please select either Subclipse or Subversive, not both. (Installation details are below.) Installing one or the other of these two integration options will allow you to make full use of the Atlassian Connector's integration with Crucible for code reviews and FishEye for source repository viewing, when versioning your project under SVN. |
|
CVS |
The connector provides limited support for CVS. |
Perforce |
 | The connector does not currently support Perforce. Although Crucible supports Perforce as a source repository, the Atlassian Connector for Eclipse does not currently support Perforce. This means that you will not be able to use the close integration between your Crucible reviews and your source directly in Eclipse. If you need it, please vote for this feature to help us prioritise the backlog. |
|
Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) is no longer supported
Please note that, effective from version 1.3 of the Atlassian Connector for Eclipse, the connector will no longer support Eclipse 3.3 (Europa). We recommend that you upgrade your Eclipse platform to get the best benefit from Eclipse Mylyn and the Atlassian Connector for Eclipse.
