Question

is there a way to create a task/activity report (say a weekly report) off tasks managed with Mylyn? I’ve been using Rachota TimeTracker which allows me to create reports (in html format)

http://rachota.sourceforge.net/en/demo.html

I’ve just started using mylyn (our company uses Embarcadero JBuilder which is is based on Eclipse), but I don’t see anywhere in the Eclipse or Embarcadero docs about reporting capabilities.

Is it possible? Is it possible to query activities worked on a prior week and report statistics out of it (management like reports, you know;) I’m sure it is, but I haven’t been able to google it out.

Thanks.

You’re in luck, Tasktop Pro (the supported version of Mylyn) has reporting. It allows you to:

• View all task activity times for the previous day, week, and month
• Manually adjust times as necessary to account for meetings and discussions
• Submit your adjusted times, on tasks you select, to your task repository
• Create reports in various formats

I’d recommend this short video which explains the reporting features in about 6 minutes.
