Question

I'm using Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) with the latest Clear Case plugin from Source Forge v2.2.14.201202241422. Our ClearCase server tells me:

ClearCase version 7.1.2.0 (Tue Sep 21 12:01:15 EDT 2010) (7.1.2.D100920)
@(#) MVFS version 7.1.2.0 (Tue Aug 10 00:37:25 2010)
cleartool                         7.1.2.0 (Wed Sep 8 12:56:06 2010)
db_server                         7.1.2.0 (Sat Sep 4 01:27:12 2010)
VOB database schema version: 54

I have a snapshot view already created on my local machine. I've imported the project into Eclipse.

EDIT: The snapshot view was created using CCRC (Clear Case Remote Client).

When I click my project in the Project Explorer, and then run Team -> Associate With ClearCase, I get a dialog that says it's scanning the project folder and I get no errors when it finishes. (Nothing in Error Log view either).

I see label decorations (although they are all empty), but other than that, it appears the association didn't actually do anything.

When I select Properties -> Clear Case on the project or any file within it, I get:

"The selected resource is not a clear case element".

Is there something I need to do to make this work? Or does the plugin simply not support snapshot views?

FYI, the IBM plugin works in the exact same configuration, however it is horribly implemented, so I'd rather not use it.

Was it helpful?

Solution

I use generally the IBM Eclipse plugin for ClearCase, but I have seen the SourceForge Clear Case plugin works with snapshot view, but only for base ClearCase, not for CCRC.

The main difference I saw between the two plugin (beside their behavior/implementation) is that the IBM one needs the .project and .classpath to be where the project files are (and not separate, one in the Eclipse workspace, the others in an external path).

The other difference is in the type of ClearCase client supported:
The IBM ClearCase plugin can also support CCRC views (as opposed to the Sourceforge ClearCase plugin, limited to Base or UCM full ClearCase client).
