Hi, I'm wondering if you have solved this error? I'm getting the same problem. I've traced down the code and seems like we've reached a code which should never have happened....(There is a developer's comment in the code :-) )

String clientVersionString = getClientVersionString();

if (clientVersionString == null)

      // Should never happen, there will always be at least a Foundation

      // configuration.   No need to externalize

      throw new TeamRepositoryException("Badly configured client. Missing a foundation component tag.");

Hi,

I hit the same error. I have a standalone java program that uses the Java Client APIs to create work items and it throws the same exception when it tries to log in


Badly configured client. Missing a foundation component tag.
com.ibm.team.repository.common.TeamRepositoryException: Badly configured client. Missing a foundation component tag.
com.ibm.team.repository.common.TeamRepositoryException: Badly configured client. Missing a foundation component tag.

at com.ibm.team.repository.client.internal.TeamRepository.internalLogin(TeamRepository.java:1444)
at com.ibm.team.repository.client.internal.TeamRepository.login(TeamRepository.java:617)

When I run the program from within RTC is runs without errors.
When the program is packaged as a jar and uses a classloader to load the Java Client API from the user's machine , it throws this exception. The API's are not packaged in the jar.
Is there something that needs to be added to the jar to make it pick up the client version?

Any help/insight to resolve this would be great.

Thanks in advance.

The fallback "Foundation" configuration that the getClientVersionString() method will look for is defined in the com.ibm.team.repository.common bundle, so it must be that you are not including that bundle/jar in your client configuration.

Hi,
I am trying to make an Eclipse plugin project on Eclipse 3.6. I get an error as below when I invoke RTC client API's . These API's work fine when run in a standalone Java class. I am using RTC Java Client version 3.0.1.2.

I have com.ibm.team.repository.common and com.ibm.team.rtc.common in the classpath.

I have also added this piece of code but this does not resolve the error -
RepositoryPackage.eINSTANCE.eContents();

Is there anything that I am missing? Any pointers?
Please, help.

Thanks,
Chaitanya
