Integration Description: 

The Rally Connector for Eclipse provides Rally artifacts within the Eclipse interface to view or update Rally stories, tasks, and defects along with viewing and sharing the context of those artifacts through the Mylyn framework. It provides one-stop access to information in Rally without having to leave the Eclipse IDE.

The software requirements to use the Rally Connector for Eclipse are as follows:

  • Eclipse 3.3 with Mylyn 3.0
  • Eclipse 3.4 or higher with Mylyn 3.6 or higher.

From the Mylyn website:
Mylyn is the Task-Focused UI for Eclipse that reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy. It does this by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse. Once your tasks are integrated, Mylyn monitors your work activity to identify information relevant to the task-at-hand, and uses this task context to focus the Eclipse UI on the interesting information, hide the uninteresting, and automatically find what's related.
