What am I missing from the new work item link I've created?
I'm trying to create a custom link between work items, but once I have everything setup I can't actually select the new link type from the work item
I used this entry on DeveloperWorks as my starting point for creating the link https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/extendingrtc/entry/newlink?lang=en I've created the plug-in project for the link, plus the feature and update site projects. I've installed the plug-in locally in my eclipse dev environment as well. I can see the new link type when I edit my Links presentation. I can also see the new link type in my queries. What am I missing to actually be able to create the link? Here's the code from plugin.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?eclipse version="3.4"?> <plugin> <extension point="com.ibm.team.repository.common.linkTypes"> <linkType constrained="false" id="rtc_propagation_link.linkType.propagation" internal="false"> <source> <endpoint displayName="Propagate To" id="propagateTo" multiplicity="0..n"> <itemReferenceType itemTypeName="WorkItem" packageURI="com.ibm.team.workitem"> </itemReferenceType> </endpoint> </source> <target> <endpoint displayName="Propagated From" id="propagateFrom" multiplicity="0..1"> <itemReferenceType itemTypeName="WorkItem" packageURI="com.ibm.team.workitem"> </itemReferenceType> </endpoint> </target> </linkType> </extension> </plugin> |

can u look in the server/logs/ccm.log to make sure the plugin loaded
I've had some typographical errors on the path names and the plugin feature name that have prevented the plugin from loading |
If you edit the process configuration, presentation for that workitem, and select the Links presentation element, is your linktype in that list?

and when on a Workitem Links tab, you press 'Add', does it appear in THAT list?

no. the list is being updated when i select different items in the Links presentation, but the new link type that is created never shows up.

hey! look at that. the clean restart did the trick in Eclipse. Now just to figure out the web. Might just be that I don't know how to do a server install
On the server you need to install the repo into the (tomcat)
