Hi all,

I've had the ClearCase plugin working without issue for over a year now (not tried it with MyEclipse 3.0). I haven't had any issues. Suddenly today I noticed that ClearCase is not working through Eclipse...

I have uninstalled ME, installed numerous versions of pure Eclipse, and a few different versions of the CC Plugin. Nothing seems to work.

When I select the 'Team' menu from a contect-menu of what I know is a CC Object, the only option it gives me is 'Patch'. None of the CC options work on the toolbar. I do not have access to the "Advanced" tab in the "Window --> Preferences --> Clear Case" Menu. When I select "Connect to Rational Clear Case" it gives me an error saying "Connection failed, will not retry.".

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Rob.

Rob,

From the sounds of it, the Clearcase plugin isn't Eclipse 3.0 compatible yet. Remember, Eclipse 3.0 is very new and everyone that ships products on it had to make sweeping changes to their code in order to become compatible with it.
On the IBM website here:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/content/03July/2500/2834/ClearCase/clearcase_plugins.html
only versions for Eclipse 2.x are available.

Sorry, I meant to say that I am not using this with 3.0...

I am getting this in the logs:

Am I mistaken that this should be moved to Random Thoughts as its not ME related?

Rob,

From the sounds of your post, it appears that Clearcase stopped working on your machine on fresh Eclipse installations. There's been a similar problem reported on WSAD on the following newsgroup that might help:

Thanks Scott,

I had found that article, and verified my Registry settings :)

I assume this can be moved as it is not directly with ME...

...I have various installations of ME on my PC, and all of them
have stopped working with the ClearCase PlugIn. I am not sure
if it is related, but I installed the Microsoft .NET Studio and IIS
suites on this machine, and it seems like since that time the
plugin has stopped working.

Thanks!

Rob.
