how can I programmatically get the team area description
I am writing a report on the Team Areas and I am able to get the team area Name and summary, members and the roles of those members. However, the Description (the multi-line box in the UI) I can't seem to get yet.
//get the team area ITeamArea teamArea = (ITeamArea)rtcm.getRepository().itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(teamAreaHandle,0,null);
//get the teamData from that area ITeamData teamData = teamArea.getTeamData();
//Get the team area name String name = teamArea.getName();
However, here is where I get problems. The summary (the 1-liner)
String summary = teamArea.getDescription().getSummary();
but the multi-line Description field I'm having problems with. It isn't the getDescription() since I use it to get the 1-line summary. Does anyone know how to get the multi-line description??

Accepted answer
Hi Susan,
please try:
IDescription desc= teamArea.getDescription();
IContent content = desc.getDetails();
String detdescription="";
if (content != null) {
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
teamRepository.contentManager().retrieveContent(content, stream,null);
try {
detdescription = stream.toString(content.getCharacterEncoding();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException exception) {
detdescription = stream.toString();
}
}

try {

Bingo! Thanks, this works perfectly. Since we rotate "Iteration Lead" role every iteration, we have been requiring the teams to update multiple places: one in RTC to get the right role permissions and one on a wiki for a table. This way, we can have them update RTC and the wiki table for quick information can be generated automatically off a cron job that runs nightly.

In addition to the code Ralph provided (which looks reasonable to me), I would also point you to the "Runtime Report" feature that is currently available in the RTC Eclipse client. If you right click on a project area in the Team Organization view and select Generate Runtime Report, you'll get a zip file with an HTML site containing this kind of info.
If there's something missing from the report, you can open an enhancement request against Jazz Foundation, Process component.
