'''Mylyn''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|aɪ|l|ɪ|n}} is a subsystem of [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]] for [[task management]].

Mylyn is an [[open source]] implementation of the [[Task-Focused Interface]]. It provides an [[application programming interface]] for tools embedding the task-focused interface. For [[software developer]]s, it helps a developer work efficiently with many different tasks (such as bugs, problem reports or new features). Tasks are integrated into Mylyn;
for all tasks that have been integrated, Mylyn monitors user activity and tries to identify information relevant to the task at hand. It uses this task context to focus the Eclipse UI on the related information. Mylyn can integrate with repositories such as [[Bugzilla]], [[Trac]], [[Redmine]], [[Mantis Bugtracker|Mantis]],<ref name="MANTIS">{{cite web|url=http://mylyn-mantis.sourceforge.net|title=Mylyn MantisBT Connector|publisher=[[Mantis Bug Tracker]]| accessdate = 2011-10-25}}</ref> [[JIRA]], [[Unfuddle]],<ref name="UNFUDDL">{{cite web|url=https://unfuddle.com/support/extras/mylyn|title=Unfuddle Mylyn Connector|publisher=[[Unfuddle]]| accessdate = 2011-05-21}}</ref> and [[GitHub]].<ref name="github+mylyn">{{cite web|url=https://github.com/blog/852-github-mylyn-connector-for-eclipse|title=GitHub Mylyn connector for Eclipse|publisher=[[GitHub]]| accessdate = 2011-05-12}}</ref>

It focuses on improving productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation. By making task context explicit, Mylyn is also meant to facilitate multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise.
