Working with Eclipse

In Rational Team Concert, the build environment will use a deck of tools consisting of at least one build engine and one or more build scripts. In our case, the Jazz Build Engine launches the process that will run the Ant build script and collect its output. You must provide the build scripts that perform the detailed tasks to compile and test the code to build artifacts as shown in the following figure:

The Rational Team Concert build brings together the work items, change sets, builds, and releases. This allows for the builds to be repeatable and traceable over time. Creating a new Jazz build requires you to create a build engine and build definition in the Jazz repository. The build engine identifies the build system that will perform builds (in our case an Ant build). The build definition identifies a particular build and its properties.

Before we proceed with defining the builds and build engines, make sure that a build user is defined and a valid Rational Team Concert...
