Hi,

I'm using the Plain Java Client to create Work Items and Change Sets. I'd like to know how to create and save a link between a WorkItem and ChangeSet.

I've had a look at some of the classes, and tried to do it using the IFilesystemWorkItemService, however a null pointer is thrown on the second statement here as fswis is null.

IFilesystemWorkItemService fswis = (IFilesystemWorkItemService)teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IFilesystemWorkItemService.class);

ILink[] links = fswis.createLink(workspace.getResolvedWorkspace(),
cs, new IWorkItemHandle[] {(IWorkItemHandle)workItem.getItemHandle()},
null);

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Simon

Tibor,

working with RTC 4.0.5 I see that IFileSystemWorkItemManager is taken from com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.workitems_3.1.400.v20130614_0105.jar which is part of my PlainJava download.

With this I am successfully able to programmatically link change sets and work items on the client side:
IFileSystemWorkItemManager fswim = (IFileSystemWorkItemManager)teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IFileSystemWorkItemManager.class);
fswim.createLink(workspaceHandle, changeSetHandle, myWIHandles, monitor);
where myWIHandles is an array over IWorkItemHandles

If this solves your programming challenge, please mark it as accepted answer.

Hi
The creation of links can be restricted to the component that defines the link type. In that case it is Filesystem (Source Control). This means that you have to create the link using Source Control API. A starting point can be IFileSystemWorkItemManager.
