Rational ClearCase; Java; a utlity to recursively add files to ClearCase.

The inability to add entire directories to ClearCase annoyed me endlessly. I didn’t know about the clearfsimport command.

And even if I did, I might have written my own utility just for fun. In either case, the code below performs the task. The underlying interaction with ClearCase is handled by the http://sourceforge.net/projects/clearcase-java/ project. If you need to use the ClearcaseCLI class instead of ClearcaseJNI then simply change the import line and the start method. Have Fun!
