1. When I add a ClearCase versioned directory in the Versioning Manager, it throws an exception that I had mentioned in the "Clearcase Support for M10..." thread, evidently, the "home" property is not writable any more. java.beans.IntrospectionException: Method not found: setHome at java.beans.PropertyDescriptor.<init>(PropertyDescriptor.java:93) at java.beans.PropertyDescriptor.<init>(PropertyDescriptor.java:53) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.settings.GeneralVcsSettingsBeanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors(GeneralVcsSettingsBeanInfo.java:44) at java.beans.Introspector.getTargetPropertyInfo(Introspector.java:479) at java.beans.Introspector.getBeanInfo(Introspector.java:389) at java.beans.Introspector.getBeanInfo(Introspector.java:222) at java.beans.Introspector.getBeanInfo(Introspector.java:208) at org.openide.util.Utilities.getBeanInfo(Utilities.java:449) at org.openide.options.SystemOption.writeExternal(SystemOption.java:191) at org.openide.util.SharedClassObject$WriteReplace.writeObject(SharedClassObject.java:679) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at java.io.ObjectStreamClass.invokeWriteObject(ObjectStreamClass.java:945) at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeSerialData(ObjectOutputStream.java:1461) at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeOrdinaryObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:1392) at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject0(ObjectOutputStream.java:1150) at java.io.ObjectOutputStream.writeObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:326) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.convertors.XMLSettingsSupport.storeSerialData(XMLSettingsSupport.java:247) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.convertors.XMLSettingsSupport.storeToXML10(XMLSettingsSupport.java:88) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.convertors.SerialDataConvertor.write(SerialDataConvertor.java:110) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.convertors.SerialDataConvertor$SaveSupport.writeDown(SerialDataConvertor.java:809) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.convertors.SerialDataConvertor$SaveSupport.access$200(SerialDataConvertor.java:496) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.convertors.SerialDataConvertor.run(SerialDataConvertor.java:317) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.ScheduledRequest.performRequest(ScheduledRequest.java:175) at org.netbeans.modules.settings.ScheduledRequest.run(ScheduledRequest.java:150) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:539) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:964) 2. Even when I fixed the BeanInfo class to not throw that exception, after the VCS & ClearCase modules are installed, no menu items are registered when you right click on a directory or a file, and none of the directories are annotated with CC status labels ( I poked around the VCS source but didn't see why it might be happening immediately - all actions are declared in the layer file, etc, there must be some Cookie that's not getting set or something) . In 5.5.1 the ClearCase plugin also adds a ClearCase menu item under the versioning menu; that doesn't happen either. Even though the menu items don't register, there is partial functionality available (e.g. it automatically checks out files that are under ClearCase version control): 1. Add a ClearCase versioned directory through the Versioning Manager, completes sucessfully, although no annotations or menu items are registered properly. 2. Open a file, opens up as read-only. 3. Attempt to edit the file, NetBeans prompts whether the file should be checked out.
The problem with setHome is a regression caused by some API changes. I'm going to fix it. Regarding missing menu items, I've no idea what has changed, something in the core of NetBeans has stopped working. I'll look at it. Since the new CVS module has items in the popup menus, there is likely some different way how to do it now. Use Versioning -> ClearCase from the main menu as a workaround till it's fixed.
The Versioning -> ClearCase menu item doesn't show up either, effectively making the CC functionality inaccessible. My Versioning menu only has "Versioning Manager" and "Local History" on it.
Some more details surrounding the issue are on the mailing lists (e.g. dependencies on mdr, tokens that aren't there anymore) at http://www.nabble.com/Building-VCS-saga---Where-oh-where-is-MDR---t4404064.html and http://www.nabble.com/ClearCase-support-for-M10%2C-possibly-M11---t4354762.html
An additional piece of information that might be helpful : I tried the CVS VCS plugin and it did register a menu item in the versioning menu. I compared the layer files for CC and CVS, and I noticed that the ClearCase plugin is missing the equivalent registration in the menu system (under the "vcs" folder) <folder name="versioningMenu"> <file name="cvs.xml"> <attr name="SystemFileSystem.localizingBundle" stringvalue="org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.cvsprofiles.Bundle" /> </file> </folder> The CVS plugin also registers a service, which the CC plugin doesn't do. <folder name="Services"> <folder name="FileAttributeProviders"> <folder name="Default"> <file name="org-netbeans-modules-vcs-profiles-cvsprofiles-list-CvsFileAttributeProvider.instance"> <attr name="instanceCreate" newvalue="org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.cvsprofiles.list.CvsFileAttributeProvider" /> <attr name="instanceOf" stringvalue="org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.turbo.local.FileAttributeProvider" /> </file> </folder> </folder> </folder> Overall, the CC plugin seems pretty empty (with only 3 packages with only a few classes in them, whereas the CVS plugin has about 13 packages with a lot more classes.
Some more info on the subject : 1. The whole org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.clearcase package is missing. When I look in CVS, the attic has some files that are a few years old. At the same time, when I look at the binary clearcase plugin from 5.5.1 the same package and commands are available. 2. The org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.clearcase.config.ClearCase.xml file is significantly different from what's deployed in 5.5.1. I really don't know the impact of the differences, but I thought it might be worth mentioning (e.g. considering that the module is not actively developed, it seems unlikely that so many changes would be exist).
Sorry, I meant to say that the org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.clearcase.commands package is missing. Also, yet another piece of the puzzle : when a ClearCase directory is mounted, it doesn't show up in the Versioning explorer.
There is several problems described. - The problem with setHome was already fixed some time ago. - Now I've identified the problem with missing menu items and annotations. - It looks like there was some development of ClearCase module on a 5.5 branch only. This was not merged into trunk for some strange reason. I can merge it to the trunk, hopefully it will function correctly, like in NB 5.5.
Could you please post a note here when you merge the 5.5 work in here, I'd like to give it a go ASAP. I'm curious, would you be able to also post a couple of sentences on the cause for the missing menu items and annotations ? I did spend a bunch of time trying to figure out the reason, but I never found the root cause.. thus, I'm curios...
The annotations and actions are back: /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcscore/src/META-INF/services/org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.providers.AnnotationProvider,v <-- org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.providers.AnnotationProvider new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/VcsAnnotationProvider.java,v <-- VcsAnnotationProvider.java new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/resources/mf-layer.xml,v <-- mf-layer.xml new revision: 1.54; previous revision: 1.53
In it's current state, there are no context menus when you right-click on a file/folder that is CC versioned. Please add the following to the mf-layer.xml in the ClearCase Profile for Generic VCS module: <folder name="versioningMenu"> <file name="ClearCase.xml"> <attr name="SystemFileSystem.localizingBundle" stringvalue="org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.clearcase.Bundle" /> </file> </folder> Adding this snippet starts showing the context menus.
The "bow" branch is merged into trunk, so that functionality that was available in past releases is back in the mainstream: Checking in nbproject/project.xml; /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcsgeneric/profiles/clearcase/nbproject/project.xml,v <-- project.xml new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6 done Checking in src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/Bundle.properties; /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcsgeneric/profiles/clearcase/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 done Checking in src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/ClearCaseAbstractCommand.java; /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcsgeneric/profiles/clearcase/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/ClearCaseAbstractCommand.java,v <-- ClearCaseAbstractCommand.java new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 done Checking in src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/ClearCaseCheckinCommand.java; /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcsgeneric/profiles/clearcase/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/ClearCaseCheckinCommand.java,v <-- ClearCaseCheckinCommand.java new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 done Checking in src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/ClearCaseMkdirCommand.java; /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcsgeneric/profiles/clearcase/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/ClearCaseMkdirCommand.java,v <-- ClearCaseMkdirCommand.java new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 done Checking in src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/ClearCaseRmdirCommand.java; /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcsgeneric/profiles/clearcase/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/commands/ClearCaseRmdirCommand.java,v <-- ClearCaseRmdirCommand.java new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 done Checking in src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/config/Bundle.properties; /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcsgeneric/profiles/clearcase/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/config/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.10; previous revision: 1.9 done Checking in src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/config/ClearCase.xml; /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcsgeneric/profiles/clearcase/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/config/ClearCase.xml,v <-- ClearCase.xml new revision: 1.11; previous revision: 1.10 done Checking in src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/list/ClearCaseListCommand.java; /shared/data/ccvs/repository/vcsgeneric/profiles/clearcase/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/clearcase/list/ClearCaseListCommand.java,v <-- ClearCaseListCommand.java new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6
The ClearCase menu is registered now under Versioning menu.

The context menu items in the explorer, as well as the global Versioning menu item displays as expected. There is still an issue w/ the Versioning TopComponent, I will file a separate bug for that.
