dm Server Tools and Rational Team Concert?

[wkharold]

We're evaluating Rational's new TeamConcert product. It's Eclipse-based and has some powerful process management and source control features we're interested in. Since it's Eclipse-based installing the dm Server tooling was simple enough; unfortunately, while I'm able to create Bundle Project with no problem when I check them into the Jazz (Rational TeamConcert) source control and then extract them I lose the 'Bundle Dependency' metadata and said projects no long build.

I'm wondering if anyone else has successfully used the dm Server tools with Rational TeamConcert.

Thanks ... WkH

You might be missing some files under source control. Check if you've added the following:
- .classpath
- .project
- .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml

All of those files are under source control. What does the dm Server Tooling use to generate the 'Bundle Dependencies' icon/info in the project? That seems to be the crux of the problem. Sometimes I can close and reopen the project and then rebuild it and the 'Bundle Dependencies' will reappear but not always.

The dependency resolution mechanism uses the project's META-INF/MANIFEST.MF to calculate the Bundle Dependencies classpath container. Can you check the Eclipse Error Log for any problems that might be related to the classpath container?

Christian, checked the error logs but found nothing there related to the classpath container. What I find so odd is that everything works as expected UNTIL to project is put under Jazz source control, removed from the workspace and then extracted from Jazz source control. I've diff'ed the extracted files multiple times and never found any meaningful differences.

Sorry, I'm running out of ideas now. I don't have access to a Team Concert installation right now so I can't give it a try myself.

I assume your are seeing this behavior only in Team Concert and not in standalone STS or Eclipse + dm Server Tools?

I'll see if I can get my hands on a copy/trial of Team Concert.
