The ClearCase plugin does not recognize files that are added as "Clear Case Symbolic Links" to the project. The ClearCase context menu stays empty on these files and no ClearCase operation is available. Netbeans: Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201302132200) Java: 1.7.0_17; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.7-b01 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_17-b02 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86; Cp1252; de_DE (nb) ClearCase Plugin: Version: 1.3.0.42 Source: 1362044712_org-netbeans-modules-clearcase.nbm
notice the same issue here NB 7.3+ Windows x64 JDK1.7_25
This issue has now become a showstopper for us, its ALL clearcase versioned files files . Netbeans 7.4 will now only run using JDK1.7 the issue is still present in 7.4RC2 NB 7.3+ Windows x64 JDK1.7_25
*** Bug 236728 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
please run netbeans with the switch -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.clearcase.level=-1 reproduce the problem and attach your messages log to the issue
Created attachment 140917 [details] Clearcase NB JDK7 log file looks like the plugin canft find the the cleartool command which is located C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\bin\cleartool.exe the command breaks on hte space in "C:\Program Files..."
Appologies for the fat fingered typing...
workaround for 7.3 and 7.4RC is put quotes around 'Cleartool Executable Path' option eg: "C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\bin\cleartool.exe"
> workaround for 7.3 and 7.4RC is put quotes around 'Cleartool Executable > Path' option eg: "C:\Program > Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\bin\cleartool.exe" thanks for figuring out! could other reporters please confirm if it also solves the problem for them?
The original problem that is described here is that the ClearCase Plugin does not recognize "Clear Case Symbolic Links" - so no ClearCase operation are available on these files. Hard to say if this is fixed in Netbeasn 7.4 RC2 because the ClearCase Plugin is not availabe any more (at least not for me). Nevertheless I doubt that this has changed if no Plugin fix was provided.
Clearcase plugin (installed as "User Installed Plugins") in Netbeans 7.4 still does not recognize files that are added as "Clear Case Symbolic Links" to the project.
Still an issue in 8.0.2. The workaround, to put quotes around cleartool path, still works.
Still an issue for symbolic links (that is what this issue is about) in 8.0.2. -> Changed Version to 8.0.2 The workaround, to put quotes around cleartool path, does not work for symbolic links. By the way, if your ClearCase bin directory is in the system PATH 'cleartool' is sufficient for the 'Cleartool Executable Path'. The keyword JDK_1.7 is misleading I removed it as the problem also reproducable with JDK_1.8.
