In a mounted ClearCase FS, I have some directory entries which are VOB Symbolic links to files elsewhere in the VOB. However, in the Explorer window, these are listed with "[Local]" beside them which is incorrect. This is because the "cleartool ls" output for those entries doesn't contain the "@@" status separator that ClearCaseListCommand.outputData(String[]) uses to tell versioned and local files apart. Instead, there is a "-->" followed by the path to the linked file. e.g. R:\lib>cleartool ls GTG-ejbclient.jar --> ..\..\..\..\easerverutils\builds\GTG- ejbclient.jar log4j.jar@@\main\1 Rule: \main\LATEST PFD-ejbclient.jar -- > ..\..\..\..\..\corporate_layer\Builds\PFD-ejbclient.jar RetrieveCORBAClient.jar toplinkall.jar xdoclet.jar@@\main\CHECKEDOUT from \main\1 Rule: CHECKEDOUT I don't know how symbolic links to files/directories are handled by the standard (local directory) FS, but I guess these entries should be handled similarly? Alternatively, Rational's ClearCase explorer gives options for links to do Checkouts, version trees etc. on the link's target, so perhaps Netbeans should do likewise and look up the status of (and perform its commands on) the target?
It's also possible to do a VOB symbolic link to a particular version of a file; I now have a directory with a couple of links of this form. For some reason, NetBeans doubles up the entries for those files in the Explorer window. I get one which shows just the filename (flagged as [Local]) and one which shows the path for the link (also flagged as [Local]) e.g. In the Explorer window I have jaguar.zip [Local] jaguar.zip --> ..\..\..\..\shared\sybase\jaguar.zip [Local] log4j.jar [Local] log4j.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\apache\log4j.jar [Local] The Cleartool output that gave rise to these entries was R:\AM_GTG\corporate_layer\Source\Java\lib>cleartool ls jaguar.zip --> ..\..\..\..\shared\sybase\jaguar.zip@@\main\2 log4j.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\apache\log4j.jar@@\main\1
Also, while doing a "ClearCase->Refresh Recursively" on a directory above the one containing the links, I get errors in the output window "The system cannot find the path specified." It looks like it's trying to recurse down the links, even though they're links to files not directories.
Set target milestone to TBD
This has got worse with NB 3.6 and version "1.1.1 ${buildnumber}" of the Clearcase profile, as on expanding one directory in a mounted Clearcase filesystem I now get an exception dialog with a number of StringIndexOutOfBoundsException messages: *********** Exception occurred ************ at Wed Jul 28 17:51:36 BST 2004 java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -89 at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1444) at org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.clearcase.list.ClearCaseListCommand.outputData(ClearCaseListCommand.java:192) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.ExecuteCommand.printDataOutput(ExecuteCommand.java:772) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.ExecuteCommand$1.outputMatchedGroups(ExecuteCommand.java:560) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand.stdoutNextLine(ExternalCommand.java:857) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand.access$200(ExternalCommand.java:38) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand$OutputGrabber.run(ExternalCommand.java:552) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand$OutputGrabbersProcessor.run(ExternalCommand.java:656) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:136) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:330) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:686) *********** Exception occurred ************ at Wed Jul 28 17:51:37 BST 2004 java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -60 at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1444) at org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.clearcase.list.ClearCaseListCommand.outputData(ClearCaseListCommand.java:192) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.ExecuteCommand.printDataOutput(ExecuteCommand.java:772) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.ExecuteCommand$1.outputMatchedGroups(ExecuteCommand.java:560) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand.stdoutNextLine(ExternalCommand.java:857) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand.access$200(ExternalCommand.java:38) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand$OutputGrabber.run(ExternalCommand.java:552) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand$OutputGrabbersProcessor.run(ExternalCommand.java:656) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:136) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:330) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:686) *********** Exception occurred ************ at Wed Jul 28 17:51:37 BST 2004 java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -87 at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1444) at org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.clearcase.list.ClearCaseListCommand.outputData(ClearCaseListCommand.java:192) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.ExecuteCommand.printDataOutput(ExecuteCommand.java:772) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.ExecuteCommand$1.outputMatchedGroups(ExecuteCommand.java:560) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand.stdoutNextLine(ExternalCommand.java:857) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand.access$200(ExternalCommand.java:38) at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand$OutputGrabber.run(ExternalCommand.java:552) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.cmdline.exec.ExternalCommand$OutputGrabbersProcessor.run(ExternalCommand.java:656) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:136) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:330) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:686) The corresponding output from the execution string was: D:\Temp\.netbeans\3.6\system>cd /D "R:\AM_GTG\components\EAServerUtils\Source\lib" && cleartool ls commons-collections-2.0.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\xdoclet\commons-collections-2.0.jar@@\main\1 commons-logging.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\xdoclet\commons-logging.jar@@\main\1 easclient.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\sybase\easclient.jar@@\main\1 easj2ee.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\sybase\easj2ee.jar@@\main\1 easserver.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\sybase\easserver.jar@@\main\1 log4j.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\apache\log4j.jar@@\main\4 NTEventLogAppender.dll --> ..\..\..\..\shared\apache\NTEventLogAppender.dll@@\main\2 xdoclet-ejb-module.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\xdoclet\xdoclet-ejb-module.jar@@\main\3 xdoclet-web-module.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\xdoclet\xdoclet-web-module.jar@@\main\1 xdoclet-xdoclet-module.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\xdoclet\xdoclet-xdoclet-module.jar@@\main\1 xdoclet-xjavadoc.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\xdoclet\xdoclet-xjavadoc.jar@@\main\1 xdoclet.jar --> ..\..\..\..\shared\xdoclet\xdoclet.jar@@\main\5
