When you move an Eclipse project into a ClearCase repository,
the project contents are placed in the copy area of a ClearCase view,
where they can be added to source control and shared with your team.
Before you begin
If you are using a Web view, you must connect to the CCRC
WAN server to export an Eclipse project to Rational ClearCase.
Procedure
To move an Eclipse project into Rational ClearCase:
- In the Eclipse Package Explorer, select
the project and then click .
- In the Eclipse Share Project dialog
box, select ClearTeam Explorer as the repository
type and then click Next.
- In the Move Project to ClearCase dialog
box, select a ClearCase view for the project. The view
should be one that is associated with the Eclipse workspace from which
you are moving the project. For more information, see ClearCase views and Eclipse workspaces.
- To use an existing ClearCase view that is already connected
to the CCRC WAN server, select it from the list and click Next.
- To use an existing ClearCase view that is not connected to
the CCRC WAN server, select it from the list and click Login to
open the Log in dialog
box. After the view is connected, click Next.
- To create a new base ClearCase view for the project, click Create
View and create a new Web view or Dynamic view. After
you have created the view, select it and click Next.
- To create a new UCM ClearCase view for the project, click Join
Project and create a new Web View or Dynamic view. After
you have created the view, select it and click Next.
- In the Move Project to ClearCase dialog
box, select a folder in the view to contain the project. You can select Move
project to a new project folder in the selected directory if
you want to move both the project and the directory that contains
it (the project folder) or you can select Move project
content to the selected directory if you want to move
only the project without the project folder. Click Finish.
Results
The project resources are copied to the selected ClearCase
view's copy area and added to source control in the specified folder.
Depending on the preferences that you have specified, the project
resources will either be added to source control automatically or
the
Add Resources to Source Control dialog
box will open, allowing you to specify the resources to add. For more
information about the applicable preferences settings, see
Configuring Eclipse workspace preferences.
