Getting Error while installing ClearCase plugin for Eclipse

I am installing IBM Clearcase plugin for Eclipse with following steps:

  1. For Eclipse Juno >> Help > Install New Software...
  2. click "Add...": http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/clearcase/60/update/windows/"
  3. Click "OK"
  4. Select the available packages and click "Finish".

I am getting below error while installation :

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software currently installed: Rational ClearCase MVFS Support 7.6.0.v201105111445 (com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ccrefresh.feature.group 7.6.0.v201105111445)
Missing requirement: Rational ClearCase Refresh Provider For MVFS Support 7.6.0.v201105111445 (com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ccrefresh 7.6.0.v201105111445) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.update.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Rational ClearCase MVFS Support 7.6.0.v201105111445 (com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ccrefresh.feature.group 7.6.0.v201105111445)
To: com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ccrefresh [7.6.0.v201105111445]

Where can I find the missing dependencies?

Solution

  • For a CCRC installation with a recent (3.4+) Eclipse, you should follow this technote.

    ccrc installation

    The link you are using is to add ClearCase (as detailed in "Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter (For Eclipse), Version 7.6.0.0"), not CCRC, to Eclipse, and it won't work anyway, since you don't have ClearCase on your workstation.

    Warning: See "System Requirements for the ClearCase Remote Client".
    It only reference Eclipse3.x, no Eclipse 4.x.
    An Eclipse Juno 4.2 might be too recent to support a CCRC plugin.
