Working copy vs. mutable copy

I'm struggling to understand the difference between a working copy

of a project
(IProcessItemService.getMutableCopy(IProjectArea)).

What can/should I do to one, and what to the other?

Thanks, Gary

ProjectAreaWorkingCopy isn't API so you can't use it.

IProcessAreaWorkingCopy areaWc =

This interface shouldn't be API and we have a workitem to remove it:
101050: Remove com.ibm.team.process.client.workingcopies as a "API"
package

The classes in the ...process.client.workingcopies package are intended
for use only by our editors. I'm disappointed to hear that someone posted
a snippet to jazz.net telling people to use this API. Can you please
point me to the URL?

If you want to modify a project area, you should just use a mutable copy.

Sorry - I meant IProcessAreaWorkingCopy.

One of the code snippets (Snippet3.java) out there on Jazz.net to show how to use the APIs has the following line of code.

IProcessAreaWorkingCopy areaWc = (IProcessAreaWorkingCopy)service.getWorkingCopyManager().createPrivateWorkingCopy(teamArea);


Should this be done some other way?

Thanks for your help, Gary

By the way, Jared, the example code snippets I mentioned are packaged up in the Plain Java Client Libraries zip file available from the RTC "All Downloads" page.

Thanks, Gary. I wasn't aware of the snippets in this download. I'll try
to get them fixed up.
