How to use RTC to version control RMC plug-in development?

I am currently using CVS to version some RMC plug-in development, but I lack all the good stuff which I have in RTC for version control, change sets, WI traceability, planning, etc...

My questions are as follows:
1. Can I use RTC to collaborate on some RMC plug-in development?
2. How do I install RMC into my current shared RSM7.5.5.1/RTC2.0.0.2iFix3 environment?
3. Are there some whitepapers on how best to setup a RTC stream for a set of RMC plug-ins?

Looking forward to your feedback,

Guislain

Hi Guislain,

i am also trying to accomplish the very same. Apparently there are compatible versions of RTC to install within the latest RMC version 7.5.0.1iFix1. I am currently trying out to install RTC in the same eclipse shell as RMC. Unfortunately i haven' seen a compability matrix yet.
Addtionally RMC 7.5.1 has been released just 2 weeks ago. There i also don't know how the compability is.

Good luck, if i find out something. I get back here.

If you haven't found this already, Jim Ruehlin has written a quick guide on "How to Use RTC SCM for RMC Content":

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the great article!

Our variation on the theme is that we would continue to use SVN (for now), so we use RTC for separating sets of RMC plug-ins (typically the base-xxx, assign-xxx and extend-xxx plugins for each practice), yet let RTC delegate the version control to SVN under the covers.

Is adding 3 SCM cooks into that kitchen asking for trouble?

Thanks again for sharing, Guislain

Not sure what you mean by "use RTC for separating sets of RMC plug-ins".
It's important to separate what Eclipse does for you as an IDE, and
what RTC does for you as an SCM system. I'm guessing you are talking
about Eclipse functionality, in which case you can use whatever SCM
system you want (assuming that SCM system has an Eclipse plug-in, which
SVN does).

Cheers,
Geoff
