What Clearcase eclipse-plugin to use in order to w

问题:

Using Eclipse 3.5, what clearcase plugin to use in order for me to work on both clearcase 6 and 7 projects?

回答1:

I confirm the latest version of the IBM ClearCase Eclipse plugin presented here on the IBM site

• does work with eclipse3.5 even though it is for eclipse3.4
• support CC6 and CC7

You just need to be careful about:

• your \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\ value
• your Extension Location link.

Note: the official IBM download page for this plugin seems unavailable at the moment.

That means you must use the update p2 mechanism to access the:

• CC eclipse plugin update site for Windows

or

• CC eclipse plugin update site for Unix

Note:

Can you access those CC6 views with a classical ClearCase client?
Because it may very well turn out that you cannot (and, by extension, that would explain the eclipse CC plugin cannot either)

A view is attached to a view server through its view storage.
If that view storage is stored locally on his/her desktop, that make that desktop a CC6.0 view server.
If your CC7.0 view storages are stored on your desktop, that make your desktop a CC7.0 view server.

And a CC7.0 view server cannot access a CC6.0 view server.
