I might be able to help a little.

I have successfully connected to a Team Concert Server from RAD 7.5
Beta. I am attempting to define processes for many, small, teams that
are creating Java Enterprise Edition applications. Here are a few
questions:

- Team A creates an EJB with an EJB Client .jar file. Team B would
like to reuse Team A's EJB Client .jar file in binary form. How to
accomplish this with Jazz? This seems to be a use case for a broader
discussion on .jar file repositories and versioning of binary
artifacts?

I have run into this a few times recently with clients. The best
solution for consuming 3rd party binaries (from inside or outside your
company) is to create a stream to contain the 3rd party binaries. You
would update the binaries as needed to new versions. In this case Team B
would have a stream where they would periodically update to a new
version of Team A's jar. Another possibility I have discussed but not
seen implemented yet is to have Team A to own the 3rd party binary
stream (their own output) for use by other teams in the same company.
They could use the Jazz SCM command line from their build (probably only
selected builds, not all of them) to push new versions to the stream.

- Team A owns a Java Enterprise Edition application (.ear file). How
to define a build that builds all projects that constitute the .ear
file (.war file, EJB .jar file).

I think you would build it the same way you do today. I am making an
assumption that you already have a build for the work you have done in
RAD in the past. The change would be to add usage of the Jazz Build
Toolkit ANT tasks to your build scripts to get the source from the Jazz
repository and publish results back. Perhaps someone from the RAD
development team can add more insight here.

- How to apply a common process to all Java Enterprise Edition
applications (all Java source must be unit tested with some %age of
code coverage and pass static analysis from a set of common rules).
This seems to be a use case for a broader discussion on governance
across many teams and projects?

You might want to take a look at the Code Coverage and Static Analysis
incubators available on jazz.net. Also, if you have some testing already
integrated into your build, you should be able to report those results
back as discussed above.

- The sample provided in Team Concert is basically a single Java
project/application with zero dependencies. I cannot think of an
Enterprise effort that doesn't have one or more project dependencies
on other teams' projects nor isn't packaged as an .ear file. Would
appreciate a JEE sample?

Thanks in advance,
