How to remove java project from eclipse without affecting clearcase repository

Question

When I try to delete a java project I receive attached error.

Should I disconnect the project first before deleting it. I want to delete the project from my workspace and recreate it again from the clearcase repository.

Answer 1

This is usually due to a view_server.exe process still locking a file.

You should disconnect first, but also make sure the view has been stopped.
It is best to stop the view from the command-line:

cleartool endview -server yourView

Then, you should be able to delete the project from Eclipse without problem (unless you have other processes, not related to ClearCase, keeping an handle on one of your project files).
