I'm looking to write an RTC plug-in that contributes a custom work
item type. I've worked thru the example in the "Work Item
Customization in Rational Team Concert" article
(http://jazz.net/library/article/129). I've also work thru
most of "Integrating and Extending Rational Team Concert 2.0 (the
SDK)" (http://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RtcSdk20).


I need to implement an RTC plug-in that does the same sort of
customization described in "Work Item Customization in Rational
Team Concert". Can someone point me to information on how to do
this? A tutorial that steps me thru an example would be great, but
any information to help me get started would be kindly appreciated.

I understand that I can export my process as a process template for
others to import. However, my understanding is that a process
template defines all of the work item types, work flows, and
processes for a project area and is specified when creating a new
project area. Conceptually, I see a process template as analogous to
a ClearQuest schema.

What I'm looking for is the ability to implement a number of new work
item types that our users can apply to their
existing project areas and/or process
templates; that is, something analogous to a ClearQuest schema
package. We also plan to implement our custom work item types over a
number releases, so we need the ability for our users to apply updates
to our custom work item types as well.
