Plug-in Jazz into another Eclipse based application

Hi,

Is there a way to plug-in Jazz client into another Eclipse based application like Rational Application Developer or WebSphere Integration Developer? Thanks.

Hi,

Got to know that Jazz cannot be plugged into Eclipse 3.2 base.
Is there any recommended workflow on how Jazz can be used with an Eclipse 3.2 development environment?

Thanks in advance.

Bhadri,

As you pointed out in your own reply, the current versions of the
products you mentioned are not on Eclipse 3.3 which is a requirement
for current versions of the Jazz client. So, shell sharing with them
is not currently an option.

Support for shell sharing with a compatible eclipse and, in particular,
with Rational products based-on a compatible eclipse is currently in the
plans.

I do not have an answer at the moment as to how to best use Jazz in
conjunction with an eclipse 3.2-based product. My only experience with
this type of environment has been with putting monolithic model files
created with RSM under Jazz SCM. For that particular situation I just
worked with the model under a separate RSM workspace and then manually
copied the result into my Jazz workspace (where the project was shared
with Jazz SCM).

We've had a similar problem and our work flow might help.

In the eclipse 3.2 based product, we create a new project that points to the local version of the related project from our Jazz environment. Then, we do most of our editing there.

Then, when we need to commit to streams or load changes from others, we do that from our Jazz client.

This allows us to use all of the tracking features, WIs, etc, and still edit with our main tools.

There are probably some risks in this approach, but so far its worked ok for us.
