My goal is to add a comment programatically using the plain Java SDK. The API for work items doesn't immediately make this apparent. I've scoured over the RtcSdk wiki. And it is ripe with creating new work items. However, I'm stuck not seeing how to add a comment.

workItem.setHTMLDescription(XMLString.createFromPlainText(fDescription));

The plain java code example covers the rest.

No problem!

Plain-Java Client

The WorkItemInitialization class does most of the work. You can set whatever fields you need inside the execute field.

A snippet that adds as comment to a work item:

IComments comments= workingCopy.getComments();
IComment comment= comments.createComment(authenticatedUser,
getText(commentString));
comments.append(comment);

When trying to create a comment using the following code 

IWorkItem workingCopy = workItemClient.findWorkItemById(456, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, null);

			

			IComments comments= workingCopy.getComments();

			IComment comment= comments.createComment( teamRepository.loggedInContributor(),

					XMLString.createFromPlainText( "This is my new commend from the java api"));

			comments.append(comment);


I get an com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.ImmutablePropertyException being thrown by 
comments.append(comment);
any pointers?

You can't modify the work item itself, you need to modify a working copy:

IWorkItemWorkingCopyManager workingCopyManager=
workItemClient.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager();
workingCopyManager.connect(handle, ...);
WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy=
workingCopyManager.getWorkingCopy(handle);


// modify work item
IWorkItem workItem= workingCopy.getWorkItem();
...

workingCopy.save(null);
