Solution

I have no problem with that plugin (except the MVFS layer does not work for now, since dynamic views are not yet supported on windows7), provided you do have the exact tree

yourEclipse
  eclipse
    plugins
      com.rational.clearcase.help_7.5.0.v200910221234
      com.rational.clearcase.activities_7.5.0.v200910221234
      com.rational.clearcase_7.5.0.v200910221234
    features
      com.rational.clearcase_7.5.0.v200910221234
      com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ccrefresh_7.5.0.v200910221234
      com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ccimport.feature_7.1.0.v200905202348--08422A2_242663

So you can start and check if you do see this configuration.
Note: I only install it on Eclipse Galileo 3.5 and Eclipse Helios 3.6Mx.

OTHER TIPS

Currently, version 1.6 of the JVM is not supported. To use this integration successfully, you must downgrade to JVM 1.5.

As far as I know, the latest version of ClearCase available is 7.1, which is not qualified on Windows 7, maybe the issue is there.

Did you try with in the integration/plugin for other IDE ? (VisualStudio ?)

Can you access your views (snapshot or dynamic) outside of eclipse ?
