In the unlikely event you have missed it or just to complete the hit list if you search for examples on this blog, the Build On State Change Work Item Save participant/follow up action is a complete example as part of the Rational Team Concert Extensions Workshop.

If a qualifying change happens, it issues a build request for a configured build definition. The example comes with a complete package including the configuration UI.
