Code Reviews based on Mylyn-Tasks

Mylyn Reviews aims to be a convenient review tool for Mylyn. It does not require any server-side components other than a Mylyn task repository and optionally a SCM server.

The review tasks will be rendered as Mylyn tasks and possibly as subtasks of the corresponding task under review. Review tasks can be generated in the following ways:

• Manually generated from the changesets/revisions of changes related to a Mylyn task.
• Manually generated from a patch attached to a Mylyn task.
• Manually generated from a Mylyn task context.

A review can be planned for multiple reviewers, which may have a different filtered selection of the review scope e.g. reviewing of all test cases. A review is represented as one task in the respective task repository and contains the following information:

• The review definition: scope, reference to the original task, references to the scope, filters, list of reviewers etc. (one task attachment)
• The review data: state and comments (one task attachment per reviewer)

While this proposed design does not directly support the ReviewClipse work-flow, a migration path will be provided at a later time.
