Setting up RTC Eclipse Client
The RTC Eclipse client is a powerful client side tool for accessing the majority of the features in
the RTC Web client. The Eclipse client has a set of Work Item functionalities that allows
developers to manage their work items and source code. The client provides access to project
code stream, work item queries, as well as managing reports and builds.
Download the Client
To download the client, validate your RTC server version. With JazzHub, our version was 4.0RC2

Add Repository Connections, v1
To setup the Eclipse client to connect to your project:
1. Open up the RTC Eclipse Client
2. Click on Create a Repository Connection. The Create a Jazz Repository Connection
window opens up.
A Repository is a silo that holds many different Project Areas. A Repository Connection
is a user's login to the Repository. This login is restricted by the role the user is assigned
to a certain project area. Therefore, a login to a repository can be used for different
project areas, as well as different roles for each of those project areas.
3. Enter the URI of the RTC server. For this project, we entered https://hub.jazz.net/ccm
4. Enter your username and password and click Finish.
5. Upon completion, you should have a repository connection.
Add Repository Connections, v2
If you already have an existing repository connection, here's how you add another one.
1. Right click on the Repository Connections folder.
2. Select New... > Jazz Repository Connection.
3. Follow Step 3 on the Add Repository Connections, v1.
Manage Project Areas
To add a project area:
1. Right click on your repository connection and select Manage Connected Project Areas.
The Manage Connected Project Areas window should appear.
2. Scroll to the project area that you have access to click on the checkbox. Click Finish.
You should now have access to your project.
