Java API: Move Build Definitions to folder


Bradley Mosher (133) | asked Oct 13 '14, 2:14 p.m.
Hello, 

I am trying to move a Build Definition that was just created to a Build Definition folder in through the Java API. To do this I am using moveItemsToFolder. How do I genereate the IBuildFolderHandle? Below is my snippet of code and where I am stuck. Thank you!

IItemHandle defhandle = IComponent.ITEM_TYPE.createItemHandle(com.ibm.team.repository.common.UUID.valueOf(newDefinition_workingcopy.getPropertyValue("team.scm.workspaceUUID", "FAILED")), null);
IBuildFolderHandle buildfolder = newDefinition_workingcopy.getParent();
System.out.println(buildfolder);
buildClient.moveItemsToFolder(defhandle, "IBuildFolderHandle", myMonitor);
System.out.println();

looks like you would have to search for the folder to get the handle..
here is how to do the query for buildengines.. (accepted answer)

IBuildFolder and IBuildFolderHandle are in the 5.0 javadoc.

I see what you mean, I have never used the query funtionality. I will try that. Thanks!

Hi Sam, 


I am mostly there, however I cannot figure out what "iprja" in your example. 

Can you tell me what object that is? Thank you again for the help. I am a total newbie to this API starting last week.

sorry shorthand for IProjectArea iprja;
