  75                               <h3>Eclipse plugin support for Clearcase<br></h3>
  76
  77 <p>There are 3 plugins that I see in my Eclipse environment. You can see them by selecting <b>Help: Software Updates: Manage Configuration</b>. Expand the C:\Program Files\Eclipse (or wherever you put Eclipse). You'll see the following Clearcase related plugins:</p>
  78
  79 <ul>
  80   <li>Rational Clearcase MVFS Support 7.0.0.200801131A: I think this is what supports dynamic views</li>
  81
  82   <li>Rational Clearcase Remote Client for Eclipse 7.0.1.D061004: I think this is what supports web views or CCRC<br></li>
  83
  84   <li>Rational Clearcase SCM Adapter 7.0.0.20061206A: I think this is just an adapter that translates Clearcase CM commands to Eclipse - which can use Clearcase or CVS or SVN, etc.</li>
  85 </ul>
  86
  87 <h3>Accessing an existing dynamic view in Eclipse</h3>
  88
  89 <p>When you are in Eclipse with the above plugins many operations seem to be CCRC focused. For example, attempting to join a UCM project will lead you down a path to creating a CCRC or webview. Also, things like <b>Clearcase: Create Clearcase View</b> start with 1) a dialog box that says <b>Create Base Clearcase View</b> and asks to <b>Select a Clearcase Web Server for the view</b>. But you can create dynamic views outside the context of Eclipse and then use them in Eclipse.</p>
  90
  91 <p>Assuming you made a view by joining a project say from the Project Explorer, select <b>File: New Project</b>, expand <b>General</b> and then select <b>Project</b> and <b>Next</b>.</p>
  92
  93 <img src="/blogs/Status/images/NewProject.png" alt="New Project Dialog box">
  94
  95 <p>Give your project a name, toggle off <b>Use Default Location</b> and browse to your view mounted under the M drive and into a vob (must be done in some vob):</p>
  96
  97 <img src="/blogs/Status/images/NewProject2.png" alt="New Project Dialog 2">
  98
  99 <p>Click <b>Finish</b>. If you get the following dialog box then click <b>Cancel.</b></p>
 100
 101 <img src="/blogs/Status/images/AddElement.png" alt="Add Element">
 102
 103 <p>This may be required. In Eclipse select <b>Window: Preferences</b> and then filter by "mvfs". If necessary click on <u>Workspace</u> and <b>Apply</b> then do <b>Windows: Preferences</b> again and click on <b>Enable ClearCase dynamic view file system support</b>.</p>
 104
 105 <img src="/blogs/Status/images/MVFSPreferences.png" alt="MVFS Preferences">
 106
 107 <p>You should see Eclipse <b>Refreshing Workspace</b> running in the background. I'm not 100% what that's doing (getting Clearcase attributes to cache them?)</p>
 108
 109 <p>You should be able to right click on your newly created project (GDN_6.6.3 in the example above) and select<b> Team</b> then things like <b>Show Version Tree</b> or <b>Compare with Previous Version</b> etc.</p>
