Installing the SCM Adapter for Eclipse version 3.4.1 or 3.4.2

Resolving The Problem

The following additional steps are required to enable the ClearCase Perspective and menus in Eclipse 3.4.1 and 3.4.2:

1. Download the file com.rational.clearcase.win32-20081031A.zip if you are running on Windows or the com.rational.clearcase.linux-20081031A.zip file if you are running on Linux or Solaris. Extract the contents of the file to a directory in your file system.
   
2. In Eclipse, select Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration.
   In the Product Configuration window, click the Add an Extension Location link in the Eclipse platform pane.
   
3. The Browse for Folder dialog prompts you to choose an extension location, expand the My Computer entry and navigate to the directory that contains the contents of the extracted zip file. Expand the Eclipse folder and click OK.
   
4. The Install/Update dialog prompts you to restart the workbench. Click Yes
   
5. Once Eclipse starts again select Window > Preferences > General > Capabilities > Enable All > Apply > Ok
   
   Note: This step may not apply to all versions. Refer to technote 1366758 ClearCase SCM Adapter and Eclipse 3.4.1 or 3.4.2 with the Java EE Bundle is not visible in the menu for further details.
   
6. The ClearCase menu should now be visible and can now be modified if desired under the Customize Perspective menu.
