Answer 1

In my case to solve it I just went to Eclipse Marketplace, searched for Mylyn and installed it. Afterwards the eclipse restarted and the problem was gone.

As far as the error message "Could not create the view: org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui.views.tasks" is concerned, here's what happened in my case and how I solved it:

I had this problem with Eclipse Neon version (not Luna/Mars), i.e. the error message appeared in the 'Task List' view each time I started Eclipse, even if I used "-no-activate-task" in the command line.

The problem was most probably because I was using a "customized" environment created with previous versions and let Neon adapt it the first time I run it.

After I created a new "customized" environment from scratch, the error disappeared.

In Mars, I had the same problem after trying to install the TaskDev Jira connector, which didn't work. Ultimately, I had to delete all the org.eclipse.mylyn.* references in the features and plugins directory and grabbed them from the original Mars download.
