Connecting to the repository and loading projects
Now that the project has been delivered to the Team Repository it can be accessed by another user. The following steps are performed in an empty Application Developer workspace. Perform these actions to start working on the Java project as user Patrick:
| Create a repository connection.
|
|
| Create a new repository workspace:
|
Load all components from the stream.

|
| Patrick finds that there are warnings (Figure | 9-28) and corrects them by removing two unused methods from BankClient.java. Patrick saves the file.
|
|
Open the Pending Changes view.
|
|
Select the file BankClient.java.
|
|
Right-click and select Check-in Æ New Change set.
|
Note that the check-in operation is only going to store the changes in Patrick's own repository workspace. The other team members have no access to the changed file until Patrick actually delivers the change set to the team repository.

|
The change set appears under the Outgoing header with the label: <Enter a Comment>.
|
|
Click once on the label and type Resolve Warnings (Figure | 9-29).

|
| Finally Patrick decides that it is best to make the changes available to the whole team right away. Right-click the change set and select Deliver.
|
|
| The Team Advisor view appears and informs Patrick that he cannot deliver the changes (Figure | 9-30). Due to the preconditions set in the project process, Patrick will not be able to deliver a change set that is not associated to a work item and that introduces unused imports. The latter issue is due to the fact that after deleting the two methods, some existing imports have become unused.

|
| To resolve the first problem, Patrick can click select Associate New Work Item, naming the work item a [space].
|
|
| To resolve the second problem, it is enough to select Source Æ Organize Imports (or press CTRL+SHIFT+O) with the BankClient.java open in the Java source editor.
|
|
| Now it is possible for Patrick to deliver the change to the team repository.
|
|
| After opening the work item Clean Java Prototype, the Links folder should contain a link to the change set Resolve Warnings.
