A:
I confirm the latest version of the IBM ClearCase Eclipse plugin presented here on the IBM site
- does work with eclipse3.5 even though it is for eclipse3.4
- support CC6 and CC7
You just need to be careful about:
Note: the official IBM download page for this plugin seems unavailable at the moment.
That means you must use the update p2 mechanism to access the:
- CC eclipse plugin update site for Windows
or
- CC eclipse plugin update site for Unix
Note:
Can you access those CC6 views with a classical ClearCase client?
Because it may very well turn out that you cannot (and, by extension, that would explain the eclipse CC plugin cannot either)
A view is attached to a view server through its view storage.
If that view storage is stored locally on his/her desktop, that make that desktop a CC6.0 view server.
If your CC7.0 view storages are stored on your desktop, that make your desktop a CC7.0 view server.
And a CC7.0 view server cannot access a CC6.0 view server.

Hi VonC, so the eclipse plugin should work on both versions 6 and 7? Need to retry this one since it didn't work for me. What are differences between the eclipse plugin(SCM adapter??) and the CCRC eclipse plugin?

Ooops. I should ask another question.

Yes VonC, I couldn't access using the classic ClearCase client with other version. Even the Eclipse CCRC plugin works the same way too. Now, I'm hoping that the SCM adapter will work on both projects. Haven't tried it yet since I have mixed up my devt env now. Have both SCM adapter and CCRC eclipse plugin installed in single Eclipse installation. I should try installing the SCM adapter and see if things workout.
