Using Clear Case remote client with egit

Question

The version control I am using is Clear Case Remote Client for eclipse. I need to have a useful diff functionality. I searched through net and found external diff tools like KDiff3 , BeyondCompare but didnt find clear instructions to install them on Mac. I read somewhere best option is to use git with CCRC. Can someone please explain how can I use Clear Case Remote client with egit to get diff functionality? I appreciate your help. Thanks

You don't have to use Egit here.
You can change the diff manager in CCRC in order to call any diff tool you want:
See "Changing the Diff/merge Type Manager in CCRC 7.1.1 and later"

As mentioned in "How to Use Kdiff3 as a 3-way Merge Tool With Mercurial, Git, and Tower.app":

Installing kdiff3 is as easy as downloading the latest version from sourceforge and copying it to your /Applications directory.

The app is a simple wrapper around a Qt-based application.
It can be run from the command line at /Applications/kdiff3.app/Contents/MacOS/kdiff3.
