Getting change set information from a work item.
I am trying to get change set information from a work item object. I am doing the following to get attempt to get this.
Is there something that I need to be doing differently? When debugging this, it looks like the page object has 5 elements in it that corresponds to the 5 change sets that are associated to the work item. But when I do the getAllLinksFromHereOn(), it returns an empty collection.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Kevin.
ILinkManager fLinkManager = (ILinkManager) repo.getClientLibrary(ILinkManager.class);
IReferenceFactory fReferenceFactory = fLinkManager.referenceFactory();
IReference reference = fReferenceFactory.createReferenceToItem(workItem.getItemHandle());
ILinkQueryPage page = fLinkManager.findLinksByTarget("com.ibm.team.filesystem.workitems.change_set", reference, monitor);
ILinkCollection linkCollection = page.getAllLinksFromHereOn();
links = linkCollection.getLinksById("com.ibm.team.filesystem.workitems.change_set");

The LinkCollection removes all links that have an unknown link type. So
if the plugin com.ibm.team.filesystem.common.workitems (which
contributes the change set link type) is not available in your runtime,
the change set links will be filtered out.

Thanks for the reply Patrick.
One thing that I failed to mention, which may make a difference is that I am trying to create this as a standalone java application using the using the plain java client SDK for RTC.
When I look at the jars that come with the SDK, I dont see one that maps to the com.ibm.team.filesystem.common.workitems package.
Does this make a difference? Do I need to approach this differently since I am writing this as a standalone java client?
Thanks for your help.

What you are trying to do should also work in a plain java client. You
could try to add the missing com.ibm.team.filesystem.common.workitems
jar manually to the classpath (you can copy the jar e.g. from an RTC
client installation).
