not to mention that the clearcase tasks in ant seem to be showing their age....of course they are just a cleartool wrapper; I find wrapping them up in macrodefs breathes new life into them.Anderson, Rob (Global Trade) wrote:
I have ClearCase. I can test it. Although I am not acommitter, I have contributed tasks and bug fixes. I was a little surprised by Steve Loughran's response to the bug report.
Steve, Question: Does developer = committer ? Since theproject is open source, isn't anyone who contributes to the code a developer?
-Rob AndersonSorry, yes, I am duly chastised. forgive me!
No worries :)
I guess I suffer from pent ill will to clearcase, as it is the only SCM system I am actually scared of. VSS I dont regard as real SCM, but when ClearCase starts playing up, your project can lose days of time, leading to the "get the virgin to sacrifice a goat" conversation with management (we needed the virgin so if the goat sacrifice doesnt cut it, we had an escalation policy). Or in my case, by cross mounting my PC's CC share from somebody elses system to get back at the data that CC decided I was unworthy of seeing.

Clearcase can be a real pain in ass. An ample supply of goats an virgins never hurts :)
there is no problem with clearcase if you are working from the SCM admin point of view...though these big battleship type technologies seem to hinder more then help; subversion or bitkeeper are great...but admittedly do not generate the reporting artifacts needed in enterprise development.

note: also if you are using something like Websphere...then there is little alternate option
