Can Rational Team Concert and IntelliJ coexist?

Question

I am a long time intellij user.

The company where I work is likely to introduce Rational Team Concert to our department shortly. I went to the RTC demo and it looks like a reasonable product, built around Eclipse, but I would rather not give up using IntelliJ.

Does anyone have experience of using non-eclipse IDEs with RTC?

Answer 1

This is going to be hard - you could configure IntelliJ to call the RTC scm commands, but this is not going to be that easy. I have heard of a company planning to build an integration, but not seen this myself (they might have finished this already). Company is called CM-Logic and is UK-based.

Answer 2

I use both of them together. You can't use IDEA to checking or deliver code, but you can certainly edit code in IDEA and then use the RTC tools to checkin.

One warning: I'm on Ubuntu 64-bit, and everything is fine. I have a co-worker using IDEA & RTC on Windows 7 and he has to close IDEA every time he wants to check-in because IDEA has file locks that RTC balks at.

I have no knowledge of the CM Logic's JazzConnect-IDEA product. There doesn't seem to be any way to download a demo of it either.
