Eclipse: Adding a project to source control

You add resources to source control so that you can track changes and share your work with others.

In this topic, you will add your Eclipse project to source control in the tutorial VOB.

To add a project to source control:

Connect to the ClearCase server, if you are not already connected.
Expand the My Views node in the ClearCase Navigator, right-click on the view called yourname_tut_view and click Connect. In the Login to ClearCase dialog box, fill in the connection details, and click OK.
Note: You can also select the view and click the (Connect to ClearCase Server) button in the toolbar or you can select Connect from the ClearCase menu. In addition, if you are not connected to a ClearCase server and you perform an action that requires such a connection, the Login to ClearCase dialog box appears automatically.
In the ClearCase Navigator, navigate to the docs folder in your project folder.
In the ClearCase Details view, right-click the notes.txt file and click Add to Source Control.
In the Add to Source Control dialog box, click the Show Details button (if it is available), type a comment in the Comment field, and click OK.
The notes.txt file and its parent directories, docs and yourname_tutorial, are added to source control. (A file cannot be added to source control unless the directories above it are also under source control. In this case, only the parent directory is added to source control.)
In the ClearCase Details view, right-click the readme.txt file and click Add to Source Control.
In the Add to Source Control dialog box, click the Show Details button (if it is available), type a comment in the Comment field, and click OK.

Your tutorial folder, the docs directory, and the two text files are now under source control. Note that the value of the State field in the ClearCase Details view is now Loaded instead of View Private.
