Hi,
I am trying to access RTC from my java application. The api documents are really not good enough to develop a proper code and there is no javadoc either.  So I really need help out here to go further.
I managed to connect RTC and get some basic information about a work item but what I need is a bit more than that. I need the information that we can access with RTC UI on build request page, like Deployment description, References ext. Could some one please help me how I can get that information.

Hi Arun, I am using the below method and getting a null pointer exception when I try to get itemId from build definition, although my work item id is correct. public static void getBuildRequest(ITeamRepository repo) throws TeamRepositoryException {         ITeamBuildClient buildClient = (ITeamBuildClient) repo.getClientLibrary(ITeamBuildClient.class);         / The build definition is easy to get once you know the build ID /         IBuildDefinition definition = buildClient.getBuildDefinition("313491", null);         System.out.println("definition.getItemId(): "+ definition.getItemId());         IBuildResultQueryModel buildResultQueryModel = IBuildResultQueryModel.ROOT;         IItemQuery query = IItemQuery.FACTORY.newInstance(buildResultQueryModel);         / Build up a query filter predicate that accepts a build definition as input to the query and checks for            any non-personal builds that have a completed state. /         IPredicate predicate = (buildResultQueryModel.buildDefinition()._eq(query.newItemHandleArg()))._and(                 buildResultQueryModel.personalBuild()._isFalse())._and(                         buildResultQueryModel.buildState()._eq(BuildState.COMPLETED.name()));         query.filter(predicate);         / Order by build start time in descending order /         query.orderByDsc(buildResultQueryModel.buildStartTime());         / Query for items using the build definition's item ID as the argument. /         / Use a smaller page size if possible depending on what is queried. /         IItemQueryPage queryPage = buildClient.queryItems(query, new Object[] { definition.getItemId() },                     IQueryService.ITEM_QUERY_MAX_PAGE_SIZE, null);         / Iterate through the results of this page /         while (queryPage.hasNext()) {             queryPage = (IItemQueryPage) buildClient.fetchPage(queryPage.getToken(), queryPage.getNextStartPosition(), 1, null);                         / Iterate through each subsequent page. Break out of the loop if finished early. /         }     } and here is the code that let me connect to repo String repoUri = "https://xxxxx.eu.int:9443/jazz/";         TeamPlatform.startup();         try {                       // Login to the repository using the provided credentials             if(TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService() != null) {                        ITeamRepository repo = TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService().getTeamRepository(repoUri);             repo.registerLoginHandler(new ILoginHandler2() {                 @Override                 public ILoginInfo2 challenge(ITeamRepository repo) {                     String userId = "jhhjkll3"; // Retrieve the userId in a secure way                     String password = "kkk"; // Retrieve the password in a secure way                     return new UsernameAndPasswordLoginInfo(userId, password);                 }             });                         repo.login(null); getBuildRequest(repo);

Follow https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/learning-to-fly-getting-started-with-the-rtc-java-apis/ and properly set up your environment for debugging. Note the SDK comes with comments. https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/10/28/build-artifacts-publishing-and-automated-build-output-management-using-the-plain-java-client-libraries/ shows some built API.

Finally, the com.ibm.team.build.client.ITeamBuildClient.getBuildDefinition(String, IProgressMonitor) wants the Build Definition ID and not the build ID.

    /**
     * Retrieves the build definition with the given id.
     *
     * @param buildDefinitionId
     *            The build definition to retrieve.
     * @param progressMonitor
     *            The progress monitor to track progress on or <code>null</code>
     *            if progress monitoring is not desired.
     * @return The build definition, or <code>null</code> if no build
     *         definition with the given id is found.
     * @throws IllegalArgumentException
     *             If the <code>buildDefinitionId</code> is <code>null</code>.
     * @throws TeamRepositoryException
     *             If an error occurs while accessing the repository.
     */
    public IBuildDefinition getBuildDefinition(String buildDefinitionId, IProgressMonitor progressMonitor)
            throws TeamRepositoryException, IllegalArgumentException;

Hi Arun,
Thanks for your response, unfortunately I am still struggling to get the information that I need with RTC library. Here is what I really need to get. Could you please help me how can I get that information by using RTC java API. In RTC, we have a custom part in work item which we called Build/Deployment, you can see how it looks like from the screenshot below. Could you please tell me by using which classes I can get the data inside that part?

Thanks & REgards
Evrim
