Trac and Eclipse

Here's how to get Trac to talk to Eclipse

Trac configuration

The Trac plugin for Eclipse uses the Trac XML RPC plugin to communicate with the server. It is not enabled by default, and the permissions are a bit odd...

1. Ask your repository librarian to turn on all the RPC plugins under https://svnweb.cern.ch/trac/$PROJECT/admin/general/plugin
2. Ask your repository librarian to provide the following permissions to the appropriate group (e.g. developers) for your project under https://svnweb.cern.ch/trac/$PROJECT/admin/general/perm
   • XML_RPC
   • TICKET_CREATE
   • TICKET_MODIFY
   • TICKET_VIEW
3. Have your login added to the developers group (n.b. this is not the same as being in the developers group in the svn authz file)
4. Check that you now have access at https://svnweb.cern.ch/no_sso/trac/$PROJECT/login/xmlrpc

Eclipse plugin

1. Install Subversive
2. Install Mylyn and the Trac connector
3. Configure the plugin as follows:
   • Server = https://svnweb.cern.ch/no_sso/trac/$PROJECT/
   • Label = $PROJECT
   • username/password = your CERN username/password
   • Access type = XML-RPC
