Question

I want to execute cleartool command cleartool lstype -kind -lbtype -s -inv \VoB from Java applications. Later I need to import this plugin in Jenkins and only have to give the name of VoB as input argument. So far I tried to find out how such commands are implemented in ClearCase Plugin but unable to find a hint how I can implement it in my plugin. Does anybody have an idea how to proceed further or any previous implementation?

Was it helpful?

Solution

One workaround would be to execute the cleartool command in a Runtime.exec() Java process.
See for instance this thread:

        Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd2);  

        // For normal stream reading  
        BufferedReader br1 = new BufferedReader(  
                                new InputStreamReader(  
                                    p.getInputStream()));

Otherwise, the latest versions of the Jenkins ClearCase plugin use cleartool (issue JENKINS-15196), so using a CleartoolCommand should work.
You can build any command you want, as shown in:
