Limit Labels in History View

Michael Edgar — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 20:58:20 -0000

In projects with a large number of labels applied to elements, retrieval of an element history (lshistory -long) often proves to be slow. Cleartool provides the -fmt option which allows the number of labels returned to be limited.

Please consider the attached patch which makes use of the -fmt option to limit the number of labels to 5 (perhaps the actual number could be a parameter via options). The patch also includes modified history parsing logic to handle the formatted response from -fmt and includes changes to the ElementHistory object to add setters.

CommandLauncher does not print spaces between arguments (including patch)

M. Overdijk — Tue, 14 May 2013 11:40:15 -0000

Currently the CommandLauncher does not print any spaces between arguments in the console.
Which results in: command:mycommandmyfirstparammysecondparam

The attached change will fix this, and results in the following printed to console:
command:mycommand myfirstparam mysecondparam

Add function returning "cleartool annotate"

Mattias Rundgren — Mon, 28 May 2012 15:29:46 -0000

By providing a function that return the result from cleartool annotate, it is poosible to add annotate ouTput in eclipse-ccase plugin.

Extended listAllVersionsOfElement

Mattias Rundgren — Mon, 28 May 2012 15:26:13 -0000

It would be good to have a functions that returns a tree of versions with merge arrow information included.

That function could be used to:
* display an extra column in the eclipse-ccase HistoryView showing incoming merge arrows,
* display a more user friendly version tree (integrated into eclipse e.g.)

New features to add to ClearCase API

Vincent Latombe — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:45:27 -0000

- To allow a comparison between the filesystem file and a version on the server (compare with..., compare with predecessor), a method with the following signature should be added (to be discussed) :
public String getElement(String element) where the returned string is the path to the downloaded element.

[To be completed]

Build system migration to Maven

Vincent Latombe — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:35:05 -0000

Split the project in two artifacts :
- net.sourceforge.clearcase:clearcase-java (containing the current source code which is in src/common)
- net.sourceforge.clearcase:clearcase-java-cli-impl (current source in src/commandline and src/test)

This should hopefully simplify the releasing process of the project.

Java 5 compliance of the API

Vincent Latombe — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:27:20 -0000

I suggest to migrate the existing code to Java 5 compliance (enums, generics) to improve readability and efficiency of the code. This will break backward compatibility. As such, this is proposed for 3.0 branch

Mock implementation for testing purposes

Vincent Latombe — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 19:23:45 -0000

I propose to implement a mock implementation of the ClearCaseInterface. This would help testing the Eclipse part of the project on a workstation with no access to ClearCase.
