Important news!

I you use Project set and the do:

File --> Import --> Team --> Team Project Set

You will have an error messge.

This is due to a feature fix 3459314 we had to change the String
net.sourceforge.eclipseccase.ClearcaseProvider to
net.sourceforge.eclipseccase.ClearCaseProvider

since it is the correct name of the class.

My apologies for this. If you want to use the new version, 2.2.20 and onwards, of the plugin you have to change all .psf files used with this tool.... read more
