Mylyn & Redmine Integration - redmine

I'm trying to get Mylyn and Redmine work together so I can manage tasks right inside Eclipse. I saw this on redmine wiki http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTo_Mylyn but I think it's for the old version of Mylyn.
I can't find the Generic Web Connector plugin for Mylyn but there's this Web templates plugin. I think that one replaced the Generic Web Connector. But it's quite different from the screenshots posted at the Redmine wiki. There's no Task URL, New Task URL, etc.

Here is what you are looking for:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/redmin-mylyncon/
A Mylyn connector specially for RedMine. It works fine with eclipse ganymede.
The update site is: http://redmin-mylyncon.sourceforge.net/update-site/N/

Here are the steps to perform integration between Eclipse Mylyn and Redmine.
I assume that Eclipse, Mylyn and Redmine are already installed, the latter somewhere in $REDMINE_HOME. Tested with Eclipse 3.7 and Redmine 1.2.1.
Summarily, you need to install an Eclipse plugin AND a Redmine plugin.
Go to $REDMINE_HOME/vendor/plugins and run
git clone git://redmin-mylyncon.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/redmin-mylyncon/redmine-mylyn-connector
(Re)start the server, and in Redmine under Administration/Plugins the Mylyn Connector Plugin should be listed
Again in Redmine, under Administration/Settings/Authentication, check the "Enable REST web service" field
In Eclipse, install the Eclipse connector via its update site
http://redmin-mylyncon.sourceforge.net/update-site/N/
Create your repository and check that it connects, then you are good to go!

See this manual.

As of july 2012 now there is a new dedicated Redmine-Mylyn-Connector under active development for Redmine 2.x! (Got to admit, I haven't tested it yet.)
I am in the process of testing the 1.x connector that can be found on sourceforge, I will edit this post once I am done.
EDIT:
The update-site for the mylyn-plugin from the link in the accepted posting works.
As well as the mylyn-connector for the redmine installation. (Tested with 1.3.2 installation, don't forget to restart the web server after installing it. ;))
But both things aren't working out... once the mylyn-connector is installed, the web-interface is not working anymore. ;(
EDIT2:
The special connector works with 2.x and Mylyn finally looks proper.

http://kenjiru.ro/blog/2012/02/install-the-redmine-mylyn-connector-for-eclipse another server plugin link and the eclipse connector plugin
Will look like this.

As of yesterday, Sven has taken down the update site (if you go there, you'll find nothing) since someone reported him to Sourceforge (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3441532&group_id=228995&atid=1075435).
So, there are NO binaries available now for Eclipse. Does anyone know of alternative ways to get these plugins? I have no clue how to compile.
The GIT and SVN repositories are there, but again as I sad, I'm not a java programmer. Can anyone offer Sven a site where he can store the binaries as an Update?

For retrieve redmine mylyn connector
https://github.com/ljader/redmine-mylyn-plugin
In eclipse juno 4.2

Also a good read from redmine.
HowTo connect a Mylyn repository to Redmine:
http://www.redmine.org/wiki/1/HowTo_Mylyn

download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/incubator wont work anymore, for the new update sites look at http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/downloads/
The Web Connector could be found via http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/incubator/3.5

Ho Do I Restart Sitecore Server From Code?

We have a requirement to install Sitecore packages programmatically from a custom admin page. The package installation is working but once the package is installed I wanted to restart the Sitecore server from code.
Sitecore.Install.Installer installer = new Sitecore.Install.Installer();
I tried with installer.ExecutePostStep but not sure what action I need to provide to this function.
If anyone has done it before Please help .
Basically I wanted to execute the functionality from code what the two below check boxes are doing when we do manual installation.
The easiest thing will be to restart the Sitecore's application pool by a Restart-Application PowerShell command.

Redmine version 3.0.3 to 4.0.3 upgrade

I'm currently on a task to upgrade from Redmine 3.0.3 to Redmine 4.0.3.
I have followed these steps from http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/redmineupgrade but the current system is running a version of Ruby that is not supported by Redmine 4.0.3. I have also tried to make a new server using Turnkey Redmine and then copied over the database and configuration file, but with no luck.
Has anyone done this before and if so is there an how-to guide somewhere?
This appears to be more of a general 'How to deploy a Rails application' question, not really Redmine specific.
In short, Chruby or the aforementioned Rvm are the answer to all your Ruby version problems. After installing a current version of Ruby, you will have to somehow configure your Ruby server (Unicorn or mod_rails or whatever you're using) to run with that version of Ruby. How to do that really depends on what you are running and, again, is not Redmine specific but specific to that server.

SVN not installing on Netbeans

In Netbeans I want to setup some sort of version control system so I can revert back if I break the code. I'm working by myself and not sharing the code with others. I tried setting up SVN but the instructions don't work. They link to the following site where you can download the SVN software but then the site just links back to the Netbeans download section.
Subversion client software (download)
How do you get SVN working with Netbeans? By the way, atm I'm doing C++ development.
In the main page, there is a link. Did you try this?

Redmine plugin - ScreenshotPaste not working on 2.0.4

I am trying to install http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/PluginScreenshotPaste or Redmine 2.0.4, but, no luck.
Do somebody knows how to amend the plugin to work?
I've made a rework of the plugin because it wasn't compatible with Redmine 2.1.x
You can checkout it on my github account : redmine_screenshot_paste.
I haven't tested it on branch 2.0.x. Please, tell me if it works or post an issue on github.

Create a Django project in pydev from a mercurial repo

I like using the python editor pydev in Eclipse. I want to team up with some people who've a python project (actually a Django site) stored in a mercurial repo. Can one create a new Django project in pydev that grabs code from a Mercurial repo? If so, how?
Thanks
Arthur
Doing a google search on does eclipse support mercurial gives you:
MercurialEclipse - an Eclipse plugin for Mercurial support, and I would suggest to start from here. This should work regardless of what sort of project you're working on.
A discussion on whether it is better to use git or Mercurial with Eclipse, which can help you out.
Additionally, if you didn't want to install the MercurialEclipse plugin, you could use Mercurial independently of Eclipse, clone the repository and then start a project with those files. In this case I would just make sure that your project meta files are in Mercurial's ignore list so they wouldn't get pushed to the remote repository.
If there's anything you'd like me to elaborate on, please comment. Good luck.
