Clearcase plugin for eclipse usage

You will find how top install the plugin in this SO question, but I would recommend the official IBM ClearCase for Eclipse plugin (7.5), not the sourceforge one.

If you see a ClearCase menu, the plugin is installed.

BUT: in order to be able to checkout a file within your project, you need to have it within a ClearCase view (snapshot or dynamic).
That means, the .project and .classpath needs to be right above your source directory, within your project. (And not in your workspace).

If only your sources are in a ClearCase view, but your .project and .classpath are ‘elsewhere’, then all the files within your project won’t appear as ”versioned’ (blue background) and you won’t be able to checkout/checkin them.
