Integrating JIRA and SVN Using bugtraq Properties
Here at work we are using JIRA for bug/issue tracking, most of the developers also use Eclipse and everyone is using Subversion (TortoiseSVN).
I was digging through one of the SVN books and came across a bugtraq property. A bit of Googling turned me onto a great tutorial by Mark Phippard (project lead for Subclipse):
Integrating Subversion with your Issue Tracking System
This is one of those simple tweaks that makes your life much easier as a developer. After adding the properties outlined in Mark’s tutorial:
bugtraq properties
Now in my commit dialog I get a text area to enter my JIRA key:
Subclipse dialog w/JIRA KEY prompt
Since I have Mylyn installed – when I hover over the link in the SVN History view I get two choices:
Open with options
So now I can open the task in Mylyn or if I select the hyperlink option it opens in the Eclipse browser.

I like what you have done here except i have one problem and would like to see if you have a solution?
By default subversive/subeclipse working with JIRA plugin will populate the Status-issueId etc into the comment field for the issue that you have activated in eclipse. With this solution now i can enforce that there is an ID provided but i no longer can get it pre-populated.
any ideas how to do that? and still keep u’r solution.
thx
