Hi I am new to clearcase and eclipse.
I want to connect to my office clearcase environment with eclipse which is installed in my home laptop. Is it possible ?
I installed ClearCase SCM adapter, but i am unable to find an option which mentions remote workspace !!!
Eclipse - Europa 3.3
It's possible only if you have the full ClearCase client installed.
Without it, your SCM adapter won't do much.
(Note: you don't have to use Eclipse3.3, it should support up to 3.6 or even 3.7)
The only other option is to use a CCRC client (ClearCase Remote Client), but that supposes a CM server is running, and that your office accepts incoming connection from "outside" for that specific service.
In that case, you need a CCRC client (not an SCM adapter)

I am running Eclipse CDT Luna SR 1 (version 4.4.1) and have properly installed Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime and Remote system Explorer User Actions packages (both version 3.7.0). I can browse to a remote system and even create a link to a remote folder through RSE using SSH, but I cannot create a new Remote C++ Project as the Luna documentation describes here. The menu options in the manual simply do not exist. Is it necessary to install the RSE server somewhere first? That wouldn't make a lot of sense, since RSE can use local providers. Any help appreciated.
I am trying to configure Clearteam explorer in eclipse 3.5.
I downloaded Eclipse 3.5
installed GEF plugin.
Installed clearcase plugin from sourceforge.

Installed clearcase 8.0 in machine and made my machine act as a registry server. Clearcase 8 is included with Clearteam explorer (CCRC).
here is the process for installing CTE for eclipse
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cchelp/v8r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ccrc.help.doc/topics/t_ccrc_eclipse.htm
I gave my machine //hostname/ccrc/update as given in the doc, but it isnt working.
There is also another way to give the path as - file:/c:/my repository path... even this way its not working. it is showing an error as repository not fount at ...file:/c:/my repository path
Some Doubts which may help in resolving problems:
Will there be any plugin inside Clearcase which i can use for eclipse.
I did not install CCRC WAN server into my machine as am using my machine as a registry server. Is it Mandatroy to install CCRC WAN.
If i want to install CCRC WAN i need to install IBM HTTP server and websphere along with that.
Does this make any impact on the current issue.
To my knowledge, the eclipse--case plugin couldn't possibly work with the ClearTeam 8.x new release of ClearCase.
eclipse-ccase, like the IBM ClearCase plugin for Eclipse are for a full ClearCase 6.x - 7.x installation, not for CCRC (7.2) or ClearTeam (8.x).
With ClearCase 8.0, what you would need to follow is the IBM article
"Installation of ClearTeam Explorer into an existing IDE (such as Eclipse SDK)"
I just installed Eclipse Juno with following packages:
Subclipse 1.8.14
Subversion Client Adapter 1.8.3
SVNKit Library 1.7.5
SVNKit Client Adapter 1.7.5
Remote System Explorer User Actions 1.1.400
Remote System Explorer End-User Runtime 3.4.0
I can configure and access to remote repositories and ssh connections without problems. But every time I close the Eclipse and run it back, when I try to connect to remote machine or remote repository always ask me for the password even though I select to save it.
This didn't happened with previous versions of Eclipse (Indigo or Helios). Has anyone had the same problem and was able to fix it?
Looks like this issue. Solved in the latest SVNKit trunk, but the fix wasn't included in any release yet.
I am running flash builder 4 plugin on eclipse Ganymede 3.4.2
I'm trying to install ClearCase plugin for eclipse but it is giving me no repository found errors. Has anyone run into this? I saw a workaround on a Java forum but it doesn't work in flex view.
Also, I'm willing to even install ClearCase remote client 7.1 bit I can't even get the IBM installation manager installed. Their instructions are impossible. I'm at my wits end.
Can anyone possibly lend a hand? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
ClearCase plugin and CCRC are two very different programs:
ClearCase plugin is a full ClearCase integration with Eclipse, made to work within a full ClearCase client installation.
can be installed through the p2 update site mentioned in the
Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter (For Eclipse), Version 7.5.0.0 page:
SCM Adapter for Eclipse on Windows
http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/clearcase/60/update/windows/
SCM Adapter for Eclipse on Solaris/Linux
http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/clearcase/60/update/unix/
CCRC client is a client for a CCRC web server (which in turn with the ClearCase VOB server): no actual ClearCase client locally installed, no cleartool, no nothing: just a lightweight ClearCase client.
You cannot use a CCRC client if you already have a full ClearCase client installed.
You cannot use a CCRC client if you don't have a CCRC server somewhere listening for the request of that (CCRC) client.
I've been googling for a while now, I found some not complete tutorials how to install CC 7.1.1 like this one : Installing Rational ClearCase Remote Client for Eclipse
Which update site do I add in eclipse to install 7.1.1 ? I need this particular version because it is only one supported in windows 7
First ClearCase 7.1.1 is not yet officially supported on Windows7.
CCRC (the remote client) is supported, because it only uses snapshot view (CCWeb view) which works on W7 (only dynamic views are not supported yet)
Finally, the "update" site for CCRC 7.1 should be, according to this IBM post:
http://yourserver:12080/ccrc/update
But that is actually only working for 7.0, not 7.1
(And, as mention in this upgrade process, you will need to install GEF as well.)
With a CCRC server 7.1.x, You must use a full RCP CCRC 7.1.1 client available on Passport Advantage.
You have two configurations:
You have installed a full ClearCase client (not the remote client, the complete client), because the VOB server is not "too far" from your workstation.
Then, in that case, you can add an Eclipse ClearCase plugin. See this question.
It is not a CCRC plugin, but a full ClearCase plugin.
You have not ClearCase on your workstation. Then the only solution to still access some ClearCase view is a remote client.
With ClearCase 7.1, you only have a standalone version of the CCRC, not an Eclipse plugin version.
You had an Eclipse CCRC plugin for ClearCase 7.0. But not for CC7.1
So you need first to qualify your situation. Do you have (independently of Eclipse) a full ClearCase client already installed?
Eclipse plug-ins exist for CCRC 7.1.2, so that you can install it after the fact on top of any Eclipse based IDE. However, it seems IBM do not have a public update site, you need to point to your Clearcase server, and likely, the admin must have installed the update site there.
Well I got it working simply by exploding the zip 7.1.1.1-RATL-RCCRC-EXT-FP01.zip. This is an IBM eclipse plugin for RAD, this seems to be working fine for all version of eclipse. Simply copy all the contents in the eclipse directory, you are all set.
