Team Explorer Everywhere Command Line Client and WorkItems

Question

Is it possible to manage (create, change state, remove) project WorkItems from TEE CLC?

Looking at help and options, it doesn't seem possible, but eclipse version and SDK clearly make it possible.

A pointer to a doc would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Usually, command lines for managing Work items we are using are witadmin destroywi (destroy work items) and tfpt workitem (create or update work item). But, witadmin command-line tool installs with any version of Visual Studio, and tfpt workitem command-line tool installs with TFS power tools which works with VS client. Neither of them supports Team Explorer Everywhere Command Line Client.

I'm afraid there is no Team Explorer Everywhere Command Line Client command for managing work items.

Answer 2

As CeCe writes, there isn't any cross-platform tool to managed work items similar to witadmin or tfpt. Also, the TEE CLC uses the TFS SDK for Java but the CLC is packaged up in the download for convenience. There should not be a dependency between the plugin and the CLC.
