Need specification for RSA 7 project interchange file

[mark garcia]

Hi,
where can I find the specification for the project interchange file for IBM RSA 7.0?

I've searched IBM's developerworks site but I can't seem to find the spec.

Can anybody help?

thanks,

Well, I'm guessing the interchange file is a proprietary format, so I'm not sure if it's documented like an open standard. I may be wrong on that though.

Isn't it just a zip file, using a standard zip algorithm?

What exactly are you trying to do? Maybe if you tell us what you're trying to do with the spec, we might be able to help you out a bit more.

Cameron,
Thanks for you reply.

Reading the reply I realized that I've misstated my question. Is there a specification for the RSA .project files in a workspace? I'm assuming that there is and it's different between simple Java projects, web services, EJBs, EARS, etc.

I've been tasked with seeing if it's possible to have some code supported by both RSA and Eclipse. The problem is that the code that's checked into CM is specific to RSA. I need to understand the specifications for .project files and workspace setting differences between RSA and Eclipse.

Any ideas or thoughts as to where, what I should be looking at/for?

thanks,
mark

Luckily IBM's RSA is based on Eclipse. You will have to make sure it is the same version of Eclipse. If you create the .project files in Eclipse you should be fine. If you create them in RSA, they are likely to have IBM extensions in them. I think trying it is going to be more efficient than trying to find/read a spec.
