Note that the generic web repository connector is not part of the default Mylyn install.
11 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
So, you have to install it first from the _incubator_ update site (see http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/incubator).

22 2 Jean-Philippe Lang
New task URL:           ${serverUrl}/projects/foo/issues/new -- Replace foo with the identifier of the project used for new tasks
23
Query request URL:      ${serverUrl}/issues
24
Query pattern:          <td class="subject">.*?<a href="/issues/show/(\d+)">(.+?)</a></td>

You can replace the _Query request URL_ parameter with the following if you want to get only the issues that are assigned to you:
33
34
  ${serverUrl}/issues?set_filter=1&assigned_to_id=me

The following Query pattern value reads Status and Tracker fields too (Mylyn 3.2.1) :
37
<pre>
38
<td class="tracker">({Type}.+?)</td><td class="status">({Status}.+?)</td>.+?<td class="subject"><a href="/issues/({Id}\d+)">({Description}.+?)</a></td>
39
</pre>

Status is read as "uncomplete" or "complete" in Eclipse.
