IBM Clearcase plugin installation issue with Eclipse

I managed to solve this using the hints from Eclipse Help Site.

It's not a real issue with the plugin, but rather with the removal of the old Eclipse Update Manager APIs from Juno. What I did was to download an older Update Manager jar, drop it in the plugins folder, and them try the installation again. Now it works.

(One possible location for the download - Grepcode)

If you want to use a Clearcase plugin with Eclipse Juno or later (Kepler), the Open Source ClearCase plugin (not from IBM) works.

If you are a 64 bits user, it seems that Erez A. Korn's workaround does not work, so you have to fallback on another plugin.

Yes, it is a "Eclipse4.0 support" issue, as the official Eclipse versions supported for the IBM plugin are all 3.x.

Note that this isn't the only plugin suffering from this installation error message: the TeamCity plugin also get the same kind of error. (see TW-20759).

ClearTeam Explorer which comes with version 8 of clearCase should have no problem with Juno

The org.eclipse.update.core JAR can be copied over to the eclipse instance's plugins directory from the IMShared\plugins directory to resolve the issue.
