Sharing Eclipse projects with your team

If you have a project in your Eclipse workspace that you want to share, use the Share Project wizard to put the project under Rational Team Concert™ source control and make it part of a component in a repository workspace.
About this task

When you are working as part of a team, you might decide to develop a new component on your own and test it before making it available to your team, or you might decide to use a component that you got from another source, such as an open source repository or another development team that does not use Rational Team Concert source control. When you decide to put a project like this under Rational Team Concert source control, use the Share Project wizard.

To sharing an Eclipse project with your team:

  1. Specify a text file encoding for the project. In the Eclipse Navigator view (or any Eclipse view that supports Team operations) right-click the project and click Properties. On the Resource property page, select ISO-8859-1 (or another encoding that is appropriate for the character set and platforms for which the project will be developed). For more information, see the Eclipse help for workspace preferences.
  2. Right-click the project and click Team > Share Project.
  3. In the Share Project wizard, select Jazz Source Control as the repository type and click Next.
  4. If you are not already connected to the repository in which you want to share the project, select a repository to use and click Login. To create a new repository connection, choose New in the drop-down list of repository connections.
  5. Specify the repository workspace to use.
    • If you have an existing repository workspace and component in which you want to share the project, leave Select a component in an existing repository workspace selected, expand the workspace, and select a component. If you want to place the project in a new component in an existing repository workspace, select the workspace, click New Component, enter a name for the new component, click OK, and select the new component in the list. Click Next.
    • If you do not have an existing repository workspace, or you want to create a new one, select Create a new repository workspace named, enter a name for the workspace, and click Next. If you do not want to share the project with a stream right now, select Just back up my work. Don't flow changes to a stream yet and click Next. If you know the stream with which you want to share the project, leave Flow with a stream selected, select the stream from the list, and click Next. Select the component in which to place the project, and click Next.
  6. If your project contains any file types or folders that are ignored by Eclipse, the wizard prompts you to review them. For more information, see Selecting resources to exclude from Rational Team Concert source control.
  7. Click Finish.
What to do next

The Eclipse project is added to your repository workspace as a new component. When you deliver the project to one of the team's streams, other team members who want to access this project can add it to one of their repository workspaces.
