Tasktop's CollabNet® integration provides seamlessly integrated access to CollabNet artifacts from any Eclipse-based IDE or the Tasktop Pro rich desktop client. Tasktop leverages the capabilities of CollabNet Desktop and Eclipse Mylyn, and provides additional integration for web browsing, calendars and email. Tasktop Pro also provides automated time tracking features for generating reports of time spent on each CollabNet task. Supported CollabNet products include CollabNet TeamForge, Project Tracker and IssueZilla.
Tasktop Pro provides the missing link between project management in CollabNet TeamForge and development activities performed in the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Tasktop seamlessly plugs into any Eclipse-based IDE and provides integrated access to CollabNet, making it effortless for developers to keep CollabNet up-to-date and providing unprecedented project status visibility for team leads. Tasktop is the enterprise version of the popular Eclipse Mylyn productivity framework and is also available as a standalone application for non-technical users.
Access CollabNet from the IDE: Tasktop brings relevant CollabNet issues, or tasks, into the Eclipse IDE, eliminating the need to constantly switch between the IDE, web browser, and artifact change notifications in an email client. This integrated approach enables developers to access all information needed for a given task directly from the IDE.
Gain Task-focused Productivity: Tasktop’s task-focused interface technology automatically tracks and shows only the source code, web pages and documents are most relevant for a given task. This dramatically reduces time spent repeatedly searching and scrolling to find the information needed to complete a task. When returning to a task after an interruption, a single click instantly restores the workspace and editors to their previous state. This enables developers to multitask and recover from interruptions with a single click, resulting in measurable productivity gains.
Automate Time Tracking: Automatic time tracking eases the pain of completing time sheets and provides improved project visibility by making it easy to base time reporting on actual time spent. Developers already indicate which task they are working on to take advantage of the task-focused interface productivity benefits. This means that a report of time spent on each task can simply be generated and adjusted as needed to account for meetings, design time at the whiteboard, etc.
"I've been using Tasktop daily for the last few months and I highly recommend it. I love the ability not just to have a task list (which is nothing special in itself) but to associate a context with each task and be able to switch quickly and easily between tasks. Great when the phone rings...”
