Task-focused Programming with Mylyn Integration

As a developer, you are probably dealing with dozens of tasks daily. Zend Studio 7.1 helps you reduce information overload and ensures nothing falls between the cracks. Leveraging the well-known Eclipse Mylyn project, Zend Studio now identifies information, such as source files, classes and functions, relevant to each task. Once you activate a task to work on from the tasks list now incorporated into Zend Studio, all related elements are automatically opened and arranged in the Zend Studio user interface. This puts the information you need at your fingertips and improves productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation.

Tasks may be personal or shared among your team members. Zend Studio can display and update tasks from various task repositories, such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA.

Remote Server Support

Zend Studio 7.1 enables you to develop projects over a remote server transparently, as if you were using a locally stored project. With Zend Studio 7.1 you can easily upload, download and synchronize project files to a remote server through protocols such as FTP, SFTP and SSH. Zend Studio will alert you to any conflicts between your local and remote project, thereby eliminating errors and ensuring you are always editing the correct source files.
