A co-worker has been going on about how cool Mylyn is for Eclipse. I want to give a task management tool a try but I use Netbeans. Is there a Mylyn like plugin for Netbeans? Preferable with integration to Redmine or Trac?

I switched over from Eclipse to Netbeans a year ago and during that time I have not found a good alternative to Mylyn. Even the latest dev builds of Cubeon do not come close. Despite Netbeans being a very good IDE, having Mylyn context management is essential to me. I have just posted a topic on the Netbeans forum discussing this issue and attempting to illustrate the importance of a Mylyn alternative. If this is important to anybody reading this then I suggest you leave a post in this thread:

I think discussing this in the Forum is the best option at this time. Until the Netbeans community is convinced of the importance of Mylyn, any official feature request is doomed to fail.

Edit: There is now a feature request for this. If you would like to see this implemented then please vote here: http://code.google.com/p/cubeon/issues/detail?id=135
