Bug 265897 Text throws exceptions and doesn't display bullets in Mylyn task repository setup
Reported: 2009-02-23 18:13:16 | Status: resolved fixed

This is with top-of-tree as of 2/23/09, about noon. If you try to set up a Mylyn task repository for Eclipse.org you will get a dialog prompting you for your bugzilla settings. Attempting to set a password throws exceptions and the field doesn't display bullets. 1. Install Mylyn. I did this with Help -> Install New Software, and then opened up the Collaboration tree item and selected all of the Mylyn-related stuff 2. Then, from the menu, Window -> Show View -> Other. From the dialog, choose Mylyn -> Task Repositories. 3. You should see Eclipse.org as a choice. Double-click it. 4. Uncheck 'Anonymous Access' and fill in your Bugzilla ID and password. --> The password appears in clear text. --> If you tab out of the field and then back into it you'll get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. --> Unchecking the anonymous field warns you that the repository username and password must not be blank, but even if you enter a username and password they warning doesn't go away and the Finish button doesn't enable.
