A:
If you must, ClearCase comes with an SCM Adapter when it is installed. Try using that.

When you run the ClearCase installer on your computer, during the installation process you can select "Clearcase SCM Adapter" for Eclipse.

You can download the files you need from IBM. If you have Eclipse 3.5, you can use the Eclipse 3.4 plugin (as I do at work).
EDIT: Apparently, the page is down. It is the page linked to on this page to obtain the Eclipse plugins.

I had no problem. I downloaded the ZIP, added a new local update site, and was good to go.

You can install CC plugin 3.4 without any problem in a shared bundle repository.
Unzip them in order to have, in your own directory outside eclipse (unzip each files into their respective directories):

It will be picked up by the new provisioning mechanism p2 with eclipse3.5, provided you mention the right option in your eclipse.ini
-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory= /your_path/e34shared_dropin
That way, you can reference them from any eclipse3.4 or eclipse3.5 installation you might have (just a line to add in your eclipse.ini).

Good luck downloading the plugin it is 404.
You can add an update site
Window>Preferences>Install/Update>Add...
http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/clearcase/60/update/windows
There are problems with the plugin in 3.5. None of the menu or configurations work. However, it will handle multiple views, it will checkout.

I found the open plugin to work perfectly:
http://eclipse-ccase.sourceforge.net/
installed through the automatic updates and worked out of the box :)

I found a clearcase adapter update site for windows on ibm at: http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/clearcase/60/update/windows/
The link at IBM Download is broken.
does this plugin still require you to download and install it manually instead of through the eclipse plugin manager?
