Here is the homepage for Mylyn: http://eclipse.org/mylyn/

Here is a summary description (taken from that page):

Mylyn is the task and application lifecycle management (ALM) framework for Eclipse. It provides:

  • The revolutionary task-focused interface

    Realigns the IDE around tasks so that you see only the code that's relevant

  • A task management tool for developers

    Averaging 1 million downloads/month, Mylyn is the most popular IDE tool for ALM

  • A broad ecosystem of Agile and ALM integrations

    Dozens of extensions integrate Mylyn with ALM and developer collaboration tools

Hope that helps.
