Annotate Add-On for the IBM Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter

Overview

The "Annotate Add-On for the IBM Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter" extends the ClearCase Eclipse plugin with the ClearCase "annotate" feature.
The ClearCase Command Line Interface (CLI) contains the "cleartool annotate" command, which generates an annotated report of a text file. The report shows who has when changed what in the file.
Because this feature is only available in the ClearCase CLI it is rarely used. The Annotate Add-On for the IBM Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter closes this gap and makes the report available in Eclipse in an easy manner. This makes the Annotate Add-On a simple and effective tool to retrieve information about the creation history of a versioned text file, without having to leave the Eclipse environment.

Annotate Add-On Features

The Annotate Add-On integrates itself into the "Team" context menu of the IBM Rational ClearCase SCM adapter. After selecting the "Annotate" operation from the context menu a new editor window showing the contents of the selected version is opened. In the ruler at the left-hand side of the window coloured annotations are displayed that visualize which parts of the text file belong to the same version. Hovering with the mouse over the coloured regions opens a tooltip window which display the creator's user id, the timestamp and the comment of the version.
The complete list of features and also the known restrictions are documented in the help of the Annotate Add-On that is accessible online.
