Installing the ClearCase Plugin for Adobe Flex Builder
If you are already using (or planning to use) ClearCase as your revision control tool in your flex application development, it will be a good idea to install the ClearCase plugin inside the flex builder, so that all the commands (like check-out, check-in, hijack and much more) can be directly invoked from the Flex Builder.

First, you will need to download the plugin, to download please go to the ClearCase plugin download page.

You will see a list of available plugins. From this list, download Plug-in: Adapter for Eclipse 3.1: Windows.

After downloading the ZIP, extract it onto your local disk drive.

You will notice that there are two folders within the eclipse folder of the downloaded content, Namely, plugins and features.

Now open the folder where the flex builder is installed (Typically, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3).

Copy the contents of features folder from the downloaded content to the features folder under Flex Builder 3 folder. (Note: Copy the folders itself and not the content within folders, there will be total two folders under this folder).

Copy the contents of plugins folder from the downloaded content to the plugins folder under Flex Builder 3 folder. (Note: Copy the folders itself and not the content within folders, there will be total three folders under this folder).

And That’s it, you are done. Launch the Flex builder.
You can now see the ClearCase SCM Adapter inside Flex Builder.
To open the ClearCase SCM Adapter preferences, go to Windows –> Preferences –> Team –> ClearCase SCM Adapter.

Now if you keep the contents of your snapshot view at the same place as the flex project folder, you can do many ClearCase operations by doing the following:

In the ClearCase SCM Adapter – select ‘Automatically connect’ – Restart Flex Builder
Right click on any resource in Flex-Navigator, point to ‘Team’, the sub-menu will show many of the commonly used ClearCase commands.
