I just downloaded the plugins for using clearcase in eclipse from and put them in plugins and features folders : http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-ccase/

but when I restarted eclipse, right-cliked on the project (in project explorer), clicked in Team, there is no Associate with ClearCase.

I have : Eclipse Platform Version: 3.3.2

  • Please update your question with the version of eclipse used and the version of ClearCase. – VonC Nov 07 '11 at 16:50

Make sure the plugin has been loaded by Eclipse: check the Preferences / Teams, you should see a ClearCase section.
If not, check the error logs of Eclipse to see if there a message explaining why the plugin doesn't load.

If nothings work, you can also try the official IBM ClearCase Eclipse plugin.

  • Thanks VonC, I downloaded and added the plugins and features in eclipse, there is another file .eclipseextension that I don't know where it should be put. now from Preferences I can see clearcase added in Team, but when I right click in a project (from project explorer) --> Team, still there is no Associate with Clearcase. – user1034127 Nov 07 '11 at 17:19
  • @user1034127: now that would be because your `.project` and `.classpath` Eclipse file are not in a ClearCase view. See for examples: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4432945/imported-eclipse-project-not-linking-to-clearcase/4433604#4433604, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3393758/clearcase-plugin-for-eclipse-usage/3393857#3393857 – VonC Nov 07 '11 at 19:29
  • Thanks VonC, I went to that link, I did not understand anything, I just started this job this week, they told me ClearCase is installed in my machine, I checked out the project from CVS to eclipse, but never touched Clearcase in this machine or any time before. – user1034127 Nov 07 '11 at 20:13
  • @user1034127: the fact that ClearCase is installed isn't the all story. You need a snapshot view (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2923328/what-are-the-differences-between-a-snapshot-view-and-a-dynamic-view/2925378#2925378) in order to manage file history. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3393758/clearcase-plugin-for-eclipse-usage/3393857#3393857 illustrates that the Eclipse files should be part of the ClearCase snapshot view in order for the plugin to consider that Eclipse project as versionned.
