Adapt SCM Implementation with Subversion to ClearCase

Question

I have a project which have SCM Implementation with Subversion and now I want (have) to use ClearCase as new repository. I'm having problems with scm configuration in the pom.xml, I have something like this:

...
<scm>
  <connection>scm:svn:http://url/to/my/repository/</connection>
  <developerConnection>scm:svn:http://url/to/my/repository/</developerConnection>
  <url>http://url/to/my/repository/</url>
</scm>
...

Now, I have to adapt this to ClearCase. I've been looking for information on the Internet and I've seen this url: http://maven.apache.org/scm/clearcase.html but I'm unable to manage it, I've tried this:

...
<scm>
  <connection>scm:clearcase:load /MY_VOB/my/folder/</connection>
  <!--<connection>scm:clearcase:load:/MY_VOB/my/folder:stream_name</connection>-->
  <developerConnection>scm:clearcase:load /MY_VOB/my/folder/</developerConnection>
  <!--<developerConnection>scm:clearcase:load:/MY_VOB/my/folder:stream_name</developerConnection>-->
  <url>http://url/to/my/repository/</url>
</scm>
...

The lines commented are other options, but I'm not sure if I'm doing well, can anybody guide me?

Thanks in advance. Greetings.

UPDATE:

I've tried with, and I have a new problem :S:

<scm>
  <connection>scm:clearcase:MY_VIEW:MY_VOB:STREAM_NAME</connection>
  <developerConnection>scm:clearcase:MY_VIEW:MY_VOB:STREAM_NAME</developerConnection>
</scm>

I've launched mvn relase:prepare and I get these errors:

[INFO] The SCM URL contains unused parameter : STREAM_NAME
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Unable to check for local modifications
Provider message:
The cleartool command failed.
Command output:
"cleartool" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

We are using ClearCase Remote Client 8 and it seems not to use cleartool command but rcleartool.

Could you help in my SCM configuration? Is there any way to use rcleartool instead of cleartool?

Thanks in advance. Greetings.

Answer 1

 <developerConnection>scm:clearcase:load /MY_VOB/my/folder/</developerConnection>

It means you have a ClearCase vob /MY_VOB (on Windows), or if you are on Unix /vobs/MY_VOB, with your project sources already added to source control in /MY_VOB/my/folder/.

In that context, I don't think <url>http://url/to/my/repository/</url> has any meaning for ClearCase.

However, that plugin is only made to work with a full ClearCase installation (7.x), not with ClearTeam 8.x, which doesn't have cleartool, but only rcleartool (like I mention here).
