I’m studying the Mylyn of Eclipse IDE and came across the option "Mark as Landmark" which appears available for some items in the Package Explorer, and I got a few questions about what it’s for, what it’s for, and how to use:
In the gif above, I have an Active Task, and, the Package Explorer is with the option "Focus on Active Task" linked, from this I do the following actions:
- Click on the File
Main.java
right-click and check that option "Mark as Landmark" is not available to him; because it is not available? - Click on the button
[+]
which is to the right of the ArchiveMain.java
to show his "children" who are not part of the Context, and then comes the classMain
() that is inside the Archive; - Then I select the class
Main
that appeared, and right-click on it, see that for it there is the option "Mark as Landmark"; - Click on
[+]
classMain
and her "children" who are not part of the Context, which are: the attributeUI
(), the methodmain(String[])
() and the methodstart(Stage)
(); - For each of the children of
Main
which were opened in the previous action, they have the option "Mark as Landmark" available, but in gif I show this only for the methodmain(String[])
, by right-clicking on it; - I click on the option "Mark as Landmark" causing the method
main(String[])
is marked, note that it was in bold; - I right-click on the method again
main(String[])
, looking for an option that allows you to uncheck it as "Landmark", but I can’t find it! and the option "Mark as Landmark" is still available to him even though he is already marked (because? will be a bug?). How can I Deselect the item as Landmark?
Main Doubts:
- The option "Mark as Landmark" seems to be available only for Items that are part of the Context of the Active Task, so that I think it is an option relative to the Contexts of Tasks of Mylyn; that’s right?
- What is and/or what the option is for "Mark as Landmark"?
- In which cases it is interesting to use the option "Mark as Landmark"?
- How to use the option correctly "Mark as Landmark"?
