Programmatic Access to Pending Change List

Hi there

can anyone help with this situation

If a user creates an eclipse patch, this may contain multiple source code and/or data items. For another user who loads the Patch in their Repository Workspace, this initially shows as one or more source/data items under their Pending Changes view.

At this point we would like to programmatically (in java) retrieve the list & contents of the Pending Changes so that our Eclipse Plug-in can automatically transfer the items to the user's Unix-based testing area and compile the source code ready for use.

can anyone suggest how this can be done?

all help apreciated thanks

Paul
