I am stretching the system some again it appears.. 3.0.1.1

I need two links defined that look the same under the covers, but are searchable/reportable separately..

defect workitem <- found -> delivery workitem
defect workitem <- fixed -> delivery workitem

when I have the linktype plugin with one entry with both ends described as fixed/found in.. it 'looks' right

   <extension>

       <linkType>

          <target>

             <endpoint>

                <itemReferenceType>

             </endpoint>

          </target>

          <source>

             <endpoint>

                <itemReferenceType>

                </itemReferenceType>

             </endpoint>

          </source>

       </linkType>

   </extension>

but query doesn't work,
type=defect and fixed in exists

this does work
type= defect and blocks exists

but when the plugin.xml has both links defined

then things get ugly
http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp351/sdetweil/typelist.jpg

only one of the two link types will show in the quick info, even tho both are configured..
I can create two links on a defect workitem (selecting fixed in for one and found in for the other) but as soon as I save the workitem, they disappear from th elinks window.. but are there in the links window when the workitem is reopened.

query still doesn't work, and in the list of types in query defect appears twice( from the two links of course)

nudging back to the top of the list

well, after thinking overnight, I've solved this problem, cause the 'defect' on the other side really has a different label.

for the 'found in' package, defects are 'occurring'
for the 'fixed in' package, defects are 'resolving'..

so that works, and queries work..

so, let me summarize
1. build plugin
2. install on server, std approach, update site, provisioning profile
3. once server is restarted and plugin loaded, edit each project config,
and add the quick information section.
4. provide an update site for eclipse client, they will have to install the plugin manually.

well..

got a new problem..

I created a new project..

and doah.. the new link types show there too?!.. even tho the links section in the editor details links tab does not have them checked..

AND worse they show for every workitem.. not just defect..

these are not applicable to Story, etc..

how do I resolve this.. they should NOT show for every project on this ccm at this point..

I can go into the editor details section editor layouts and turn on all but these links, and then they don't show. but this is a real pain in the rear..
(I also don't have admin authority to all the other projects on the server, so I can't fix it myself)
