Hi All,
Is it possible to set metadata info like creation date, check-in/deliver date using Java API - while importing files via Java API. This is to keep the metadata info intact while migrating files from another tool, for example.
Please advise.

 I think you can use com.ibm.team.filesystem.common.IFileItem.setFileTimestamp() to set file time stamp and 

com.ibm.team.scm.common.internal.ChangeSet.setLastUpdatedDate() to set change set time stamp.

IFileContentManager contentManager = FileSystemCore.getContentManager(repo); 

storecontent lets you set encoding and line feed

IFileContent newcontent = contentManager.storeContent(content.getCharacterEncoding(),content.getLineDelimiter(),
                    new VersionedContentManagerByteArrayInputStreamPovider(FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(tmpfile)),null, MONITOR); 

IFileItem should let you set the date

// Get Working copy
                file = (IFileItem) file.getWorkingCopy();
                file.setContent(storedContent);
                file.setFileTimestamp(new Date());
