Extending RTC

0
Peter Keeler (31●5●3) | asked Oct 15 '08, 5:21 a.m.
Hi, We are planning a significant pilot in the UK and we are looking at extending the current capabilities. I would appreciate your input on the following.

1. To develop a plug-in do I follow the standard Plugin Development used on Eclipse?

2. What messages does the Work Item view broadcast? Can another view listen to them (I am thinking for context sensitive help here on a tab by tab basis).

3. What custom plug-ins for RTC have been developed to date?

Many thanks for those that responded. I have been away hence why I have not responded earlier. I will look at the link in more detail over the next few days

It is great to know that there are kindering spirits outthere.

Hi Sbastien,

Nice!

In a first step, links between work items.
In a second step, show all kind of links :

When you use the StandardLabelProvider, support for rendering all link
types might come nearly for free (see Work Item's LinkLabelProvider for
some special cases).

Opening a link can also be done quite transparently using
Hyperlinks.open(...).

Maybe you can use these hints.

Regards,
Patrick

- Show all work items linked to an iteration plan, a team area, or a user
- Browse a Project Area and all its sub items
- etc...

I will post soon a link to my Jazz Team Server

Thank you for your interest :wink:

Sbastien: That looks great! Will it work on any link type, or just links between work items?

Hi Peter,

You will find all help that you need on wiki and forums !

I've just start development of a "Item Browser" plugin which allows users to view graphically items and relation between items.

Here is a first screenshot of my early early development (Work Item Oriented)

I have also had some personal experience extending the Jazz platform in
the Build area.

Hi. I'm glad to hear you are looking to extend Jazz

1. Two wiki topics should cover the general approach to developing a
Jazz extension:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RtcSdk
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/JazzLabs

2. Hopefully somebody from the workitem team can give more details here

3. That's a tough question to answer. People who extend Jazz/RTC do
not always tell us what they have done (though we would always love to
hear). Inside IBM a collection of Rational products are moving onto
the Jazz Platform. Notably, Rational Quality Manager and Rational
Requirements Composer should be some of first product to be available
based on Jazz.
