PM72410: [wi 228869] Prompt to enable Jazz Source Control capability

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Abstract: Attempts to open a WorkItem while the Jazz Source
  Control Capability is disabled results in a NullPointerException
  when using Rational Team Concert Extension 3.0.1.3 shell-shared
  with Rational Software Architect 8.0.4.
  
  Problem:
  1. Install Rational Software Architect 8.0.4
  2. Using IBM Installation Manager, install Rational Team Concert
  Client for Eclipse IDE (Extension Install) 3.0.1.3 in the same
  Package Group where Rational Software Architect is installed.
  3. Start Rational Software Architect
  4. Open Windows ? Preferences ? General ? Capabilities
  5. Click on the Advanced button
  6. Expand Team
  7. Observe that 'Jazz Source Control' is de-selected.
  8. Close the Preferences Window
  9. Open the Work Items Perspective using:
  Window ? Show View ? Other ? Work Items
  (you might have to click on Show All)
  10. This should prompt you to enable the 'Jazz Source Control'
  Capability, as expected.
  11. Connect to a Repository and Run a Query that returns some
  Work Items. Do not open any Work Item yet.
  12. Repeat the steps 4-5-6
  13. De-select the Capability 'Jazz Source Control'
  14. Open a Work Item by clicking on a result of the previously
  run Query.
  
  Expected result:
  - A dialog asks to activate the Jazz Source Control Capability
  
  Actual result:
  - The following Exception occurs:

  log for more details.' plugin-id='org.eclipse.jface'
