Extending the RTC command line
![]()
Hi, It looks as thought it should be possible to extend the SCM command line - see https://jazz.net/forum/questions/53567/extending-the-scm-command-line, https://jazz.net/forum/questions/16622/trying-to-extend-the-rtc-scm-cli and the wiki page : https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/SCMCommandLineDevelopment#Building.
I'm using RTC 4.3 and think I must be missing something. I made a plugin that depends on com.ibm.team.rtc.cli.infrastructure and uses the extension point com.ibm.team.rtc.cli.infrastructure.subcommand. My plugin xml looks like this: <extension point="com.ibm.team.rtc.cli.infrastructure.subcommand"> <subcommand class="com.ibm.team.filesystem.cli.client.internal.custom.HelloWorld" id="com.ibm.stg.svc.hello" initpolicy="scratch" name="hello" scope="FrontEndClient default" shortHelp="%subcommand.shortHelp.0"> </subcommand> </extension> The HelloWorld class looks like this: package com.ibm.team.filesystem.cli.client.internal.custom; import com.ibm.team.rtc.cli.infrastructure.internal.core.AbstractSubcommand; import com.ibm.team.rtc.cli.infrastructure.internal.core.CLIClientException; import com.ibm.team.rtc.cli.infrastructure.internal.core.IClientConfiguration; public class HelloWorld extends AbstractSubcommand{ @Override public int run(IClientConfiguration config) throws CLIClientException { System.out.println("Hello World"); return 0; } } I exported it using the export wizard and it creates a valid bundle which I can load into an OSGi framework - it resolves correctly. I dropped the plugin into the scmtools/eclipse/plugins directory hoping (optimism!) that the command would be found when I ran lscm or scm. It wasn't. I've tried adding and removing activators without any effect. What completely obvious thing am I missing? Or is this much harder that I think it should be? |

![]()
Hi Zoe,
Copying the plugin to plugins dir is not enough. Try running scm -clean To cause reloading bundles. Let us know if it helps. Comments Hi Krzysztof
Thanks for your reply - I'm afraid it didn't make any difference:
![]() I created a sample plugin (same as you have done) and dropped it into the scmtools/plugins folder and it worked fine. I ran scm -clean just to be sure that my plugin gets loaded. |
