To reuse them we had to write a compatibility layer. We needed to simulate some [[OSGi]] and [[Eclipse]] platform interface are replace them with dumb implementations. We managed to make it work, but we every upgrade of the [[Mylyn]] libraries we needed to provide and fake additional methods and interfaces. We knew this solution is very fragile.

For a while we wanted to replace the hacks with proper [[environment]] for [[Mylyn]] execution. [[NetBeans]] 7.1 finally includes [[Netbinox]] and can execute [[Mylyn]] in its natural [[environment]] without any hacks.

[[NetBeans]] 7.1 finally includes [[Netbinox]] and can execute [[Mylyn]] in its natural [[environment]] without any hacks. Still, for proper usage outside of [[Eclipse]] we had to propose [[netbeans:BringingMylynToNetbeansOpenIssues|some enhancements]].

[[wikipedia::Mylyn]] is a task management subsystem of [[Eclipse]]. Some of its pieces are also reused in [[NetBeans]] since version 6.7.
