Builds and Clearcase...

Builds so far have been the biggest pain point --

Restore resouce...

The component that i am part of has multiple modules and i am responsible for coding for only one of the modules. When i do a build of the whole system, it builds all the modules and if one of the modules has problem the build fails. When one of the other modules was creating problem i deleted from my local system and commented those modules in pom.xml..... I forgot about it completely.

About 15 days later when i wanted to build the whole component i took an update of the code using clearcase remote client and then i tried building the code. But build was failing.... !!!

I was not able to figure out the issue for a long time.. but the solution was very simple -- My deleting the other modules code from local machine created discordance between the clearcase view and the clearcase webserver - I had to do a restore resource option in clearcase to clear the discordance. I was aware of such an option, but it either did not occur to me immediately or this is the first instance when i actually used it.

when I built now the build was successful....
