ClassNotFound in clearcase plugin

I guess i should precise I don't (and never did) use Clearcase.

Hello Thibaut,

Here is what I regularly get at opening a project using Selena EAP (up
to 6755)
(The "blame Clearcase plugin " button is not actionable)
class with name "com/intellij/openapi/vcs/FileRenameProvider" not
found

You have an old version of the ClearCase plugin installed in your plugins
directory. Please remove it.

But it is bundled even with 6763 build

Hello NetSurfer,

But it is bundled even with 6763 build

The ClearCase plugin bundled with 6763 (or any other Selena EAP build) does
not throw this exception. Please make sure that you don't have any other
version of the ClearCase plugin installed in your config\plugins directory.

IIRC I had to manually remove the plugin.

IDEA seems to store the bundled plugins in the IDEA install folder now, and not anymore in the config\plugins directory, is that right ?

Bundled plugins were never stored in config\plugins directory, they've always
been stored in the install folder. We have started bundling the ClearCase
plugin only in Selena, so people may have old versions of the plugin remaining
from the time when it was not bundled.

I am getting this exact same error when bringing up a brand-new unpack/install of EAP , which I just downloaded yesterday. It fails when I open up IDEA (it is set to auto-load my project, which I set to use clearcase). Any workaround for this? I also get "Blame ClearCaseIntegration", with the bug icon disabled/unselectable.

There are 4 jars in the plugins/ClearCaseIntegration/lib, in the IDEA install dir: ClearCaseIntegration.jar clearcase.jar jacob.jar jawin.jar

Not sure if that helps... but usually the more info the better... also, it lists last updated dates for the ClearCaseIntegration plugin as January of 2006, which seems wrong.

Exception follows. Let me know if you need any more info.

Also.. here are the details on the jar files in plugins/ClearCaseIntegration/lib:

Ah, here is maybe a clue... there is also a plugins/ClearCaseIntegration/lib dir in my home .IntelliJIdea70 directory!

Here are the details on the files in there... I am going to try to swap these around and see if I can get things working. TheClearCaseIntegration.jar file is a lot different than the one in the install dir!

Hello C. Johnson,

Ah, here is maybe a clue... there is also a
plugins/ClearCaseIntegration/lib dir in my home .IntelliJIdea70
directory!

Please delete them. These are the old, non-JetBrains version of the plugin.

OK! I think I got things working. Hopefully this little conversation with myself here might help out someone else. I think the problem was that I had a "ClearcaseIntegration" (NOTE THE LOWERCASE "C") directory in my ${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea70/config/plugins dir. I suspect that it got there when I tried to "update" my bundled clearcase plugin from the plugin manager, but I'm not sure about that.

I removed that directory, leaving only the bundled "ClearCaseIntegration" (UPPER CASE "C") directory in the installation dir (in my case, /usr/local/bin/idea-7065/plugins/ClearCaseIntegration).

Now I don't get the error, and the CC integration seems to be working. I really should try 'updating' the clearcase plugin again via the plugin mgr to verify that it creates the bogus dir in my home directory, but I have other work I gotta do. :) Adding more confusion to the mix, I just noticed that the working plugin that is listed in the plugin manager is called "ClearcasePlugin" now! Sigh... oh well, at least it seems to work correctly, so I'm leaving it alone.

I was hoping that using CC would become easier after it was "integrated" into IDEA. Not quite there yet, it seems...

Thank you for your reply Dmitry; yes indeed, I think that was the crux of the problem!

The following paragraph makes much more sense to me now that I have seen this problem personally. Lesson learned: if you are having problems with the new bundled clearcase plugin, check your home .IntelliJIdea70/config directory for the old ClearcaseIntegration dir and remove it!

Bundled plugins were never stored in config\plugins
directory, they've always
been stored in the install folder. We have started
bundling the ClearCase
plugin only in Selena, so people may have old
versions of the plugin remaining
from the time when it was not bundled.
