I am planning to use IBM RTC for configuration management, for work in GHS MULTI environment. WE are moving to RTC from ClearCase. Is there a ready solution for such integration? Do we need some additional tools for it?
There doesn't seem to be any native integration available between RTC and GHS.
The only trace I can find is in this thread:
What SCM interface does that tool support?
With 4.x on windows you could try MSSCC or the shell (if it does not support MSSCC or integrate in Eclipse or Visual Studio). You could try to use the SCM command line to create an interface if that tool supports that.
From this thread:
MSSCC is defined by Microsoft. Any consumers of MSCC have to conform to that interface.
Jazz MSCCI implements the server side of the interface.
The idea is that tools that support this interface, can use it and work against Jazz SCM.
Since the interface is very ancient (I remember it being around 1995) it is widely supported by tools
(documentation: wiki articles, forums: you need a jazz.net account to see the results)

I want to use Kotlin with the Spring Tools suite plugin for VSCode but it only supports Java (For things like intellisense).
I know I should just use intelliJ and I will for now but I program in a lot of different languages daily and I would like to do all of this from the same tool.
The Spring Tools 4 extension for VSCode does not support Kotlin yet (for the Spring specific tooling). Feel free to comment on https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/issues/163
Does someone know of a Code/DB migration tool. I'm looking for a script-able way of automating code pushes from Dev to Production environments. The tool should be language/db agnostic so it can work with multiple DB's and development languages.
You can take a look at this tools (for deployment):
Capistrano + best practices
Maven
Heroku
In case you are talking about binaries, such concept is strongly recommended by the Continuous delivery. Since they consider it as antipattern to promote at the source-code level rather than at the binary level. Use of CI tools to trigger production deployments or you could easily write a simple interface to drive your deploy scripts. Alternatively there are numerous tools available (open source as well as enterprise) which can be used to drive your deployments. Jenkins is quite popular.
Can Workspace Mechanic be configured to load certain rules only if a given plugin or feature is installed?
For example, we have both Java and C++ developers. As it stands today, you get the option to follow both Java AND C++ guidelines in the workspace popup. Can Workspace Mechanic check if JDT and/or CDT are installed?
I do not think Workspace Mechnanic supports this out of the box. However, as it provides extension points, you may be able to build your own plugin to reach your goal. I did it once, but had to use a fragment to access internal capabilities not to reinvent the wheel.
I am developing an standalone GUI for our in-house tool. After it has matured enough, it is supposed to be integrated into Eclipse as a plugin.
I am a newcomer to Java world. I have read about RCP. Is this is correct use case scenario for RCP? If yes, can I use SWT views in a RCP application/plugin?
Is this is correct use case scenario for RCP?
Yes, RCP is a good fit. You can use the same plugin for providing functionality both in Eclipse and in your standalone application.
If yes, can I use SWT views in a RCP application/plugin?
Yes, of course. Until the latest version of RCP (e4) you could only use SWT for GUI (of course, Swing/JavaFX/etc. can be integrated with SWT).
When you develop an Eclipse RCP based application, you in fact develop a number of plug-ins. If you play by a specific set of limited rules, then your plug-in can run unaltered as part of an RCP application and as part of the larger Eclipse IDE.
(One can easily argue that the IDE is "just" a very large RCP application. The IDE is based on the Eclipse Platform of which Eclipse RCP is just a small sub-set...)
I would recommend two books for your project:
"Eclipse Rich Client Platform (2nd Edition)" by Jeff McAffer, Jean-Michel Lemieux, and Chris Aniszczyk - see Amazon.
"Eclipse Plug-ins (3rd Edition)" by Eric Clayberg and Dan Rubel - see Amazon.
Where the first is more or less the bible for RCP based applications, the later gives you a lot of good examples on how to integrate into the IDE. Very advanced as times, but also very good.
I would like to develop administrative jython-scripts for WebSphere 7. Is there any IDE (or may be plugins for eclipse) which provides code auto-completition functions, ability to start/stop server, debug jython scripts? I know that there is the Application Server Toolkit 6.1 but it is for WebSphere 6.1 and couldn't be applied to WebSphere 7.
In WAS 7, "IBM Rational Application Developer Assembly and Deploy V7.5" has replaced the AST. "IBM Rational Application Developer V7.5 for WebSphere" is a superset of "IBM Rational Application Developer Assembly and Deploy V7.5". Both ship with your copy of WAS, but the license for RAD is just a trial one, while the license for the assembly and deploy tool does not expire. See:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/catk_assemblytools.html
Either should allow you to create/debug Jython/wsadmin scripts.
As for Python/Jython there is PyDev Eclipse plugin.
I got frustrated with Jython Wsadmin myself. I built a tool that uses a Groovy-DSL for my configuration:
Datasource
JdbcProvider
SIB, JmsQueue, Top
ActivationSpec
etc.
You can add it as a project dependency in IntelliJ and you got completion and inspection. You will be able to step through the script with a Debugger as in a regular Java program. I didn't test the start/stop server functionality, though.
I went as far as to make it useful for my purpose, pull requests welcome:
