You can use the Rational ClearCase Remote Client for Eclipse with
UCM or base ClearCase.
Before you begin
Before you can use the ClearCase Remote Client for Eclipse, you must
create a ClearCase view. Because UCM and base ClearCase require different
types of views, you must choose one or the other before you create the views
that you will use.
About this task
Note: ClearCase and Eclipse use the term
project to
describe different aspects of software development. An Eclipse project defines
a resource hierarchy such as a folder that contains Java source files. A ClearCase
UCM project defines how a group of people manage changes to resources, using
baselines, activities, and streams. Members of a UCM project can work on one
or more Eclipse projects.
To start using the Rational ClearCase Remote
Client for Eclipse:
What to do next
After the ClearCase views and Eclipse workspaces
have been created, you can begin using the Rational ClearCase Remote Client
for Eclipse to share work on an Eclipse project with other members of a team:
- If the Eclipse projects on which you will work are already under Rational
ClearCase source control, you can import them into the Eclipse workspace that you created
for the view.
- Otherwise, create the Eclipse projects in the ClearCase view's copy area
and then add them to source control.
