external system to access work items

Is there a method for an external system to access work items (read
and update). I see the command line client, but this seems to be
only for source code and does not have anything for work items.

You can access work items using the Restful HTTP protocol described in:

http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/CmRestApiV1

So that got me most of the way there... However, I got stuck at a couple issues:

1) How to look up associated approvals for a work item.

2) Can a comment be posted to a work item impersonating another user. Passing in the created by in the json as done in the links you gave doesnt seem to work

1) How to look up associated approvals for a work item.

Approvals are still missing from the resource representation. This is
tracked in:

https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/64247

2) Can a comment be posted to a work item impersonating another user.
Passing in the created by in the json as done in the links you gave
doesnt seem to work

The authenticated user is automatically set as the comment author. I
agree that it may make sense to set the author explicitly. Please create
an enhancement request for this.

Any idea how long before the ability to look up approvals, etc will be implemented? Its been open for quite some time...

It will be implemented in the 3.0 timeframe.

I understand that inorder to set RTC2.0 on RSA 7.5 we need to download the Installation Manger file for client on Eclipse IDE.
However, I consistently fail to download RTC-Eclipse-Client-2.0.0.2-Win32-LocaL.zip.
There seems porblem with the download server
