If you add a Subversion client for Eclipse to your Rational® Team
Concert installation, you can link work items to Subversion revisions.
You must install a Subversion client for Eclipse in the same Eclipse
instance where you run the
Rational Team
Concert client. Supported Subversion clients include:
Jazz™ source control includes
a Jazz SVN Connections view that you can use to establish
a connection between a Jazz repository and
a Subversion repository. This connection enables you to link any Subversion
revision to a work item, and to open a work item from the History view of
a Subversion client for Eclipse.
- To link a Jazz repository to
a Subversion repository:
- Open the Jazz SVN Connections view: click . In the Show View dialog box, expand Jazz Source
Control and double-click Jazz SVN Connections.
- Right-click a repository connection in the Jazz SVN
Connections view and click . Enter the URL of your
Subversion repository. This creates a connection between the two
repositories. A scheduled task running on the Jazz Team
Server scans the latest revisions in the Subversion repository and creates
links between revisions and work items. To request an immediate scan, right-click
a Subversion repository connection in the Jazz SVN Connections view
and click Update Links. After the scan is complete,
any links that the scan detected are added to work items, and the label of
the Subversion repository connection is updated to indicate when the scan
was completed.
- To link a Subversion revision to a work item.
- In the Eclipse Navigator view (or
any Eclipse view that supports Team operations),
right-click a Subversion project and click Properties.
- On the Jazz Work Items page, select your Jazz repository from
the list, and click OK. This adds Subversion bugtraq
properties to the project, which support linkage with work items. This addition
results in an outgoing change to the project (you might need to right-click
the project and click or Refresh to make the outgoing change
visible in the IDE).
- Click to commit the change. The Subversion commit dialog
displays a field for the work item number. Enter a work item number and click OK.
- To open a work item from the Subversion History view:
- In the Eclipse Navigator view (or
any Eclipse view that supports Team operations),
right-click the project and click . The work item
associated with the revision appears as the last line in the comment.
- Adding a link from a revision to a work item does not require
that a reference to the work item appear in the revision comment. From the
context menu of a revision in the History view, choose Associate
Work Item to add the link manually.
- To update work item links, right-click a repository connection
in the Jazz SVN Connections view and click Update
Links.
