Diff Merge Patterns
To specify the merge tools to use for specific name patterns, select the Windows > Preferences > Team > ClearCase SCM Adapter >
Diff Merge Patterns option in the Rational Developer product to
display the Diff Merge Patterns preference page, then take one of the following
actions:
- To use the ClearCase Diff Merge tools for files with a specific name
pattern, click Add. In the Enter Diff Merge Pattern dialog box, type the name pattern in the
text box and click OK.
- To use the Eclipse Compare/Merge tools for a name pattern, take one of the following actions:
- Select the name pattern in the list box and click Remove
- Clear
the check box next to the pattern name to ignore a name pattern without removing it from the list
box
Notes:
- You can use an asterisk ( * ) to represent multiple, undefined
characters
- You can use a question mark ( ? ) to represent a single, undefined
character
- To search for a literal * character or ? character, the literal character
must be preceded by the backward slash ( \ ) escape character in the
pattern. For example, enter \* to search for an asterisk.
- By default, the ClearCase Diff Merge tools are invoked for all file types
because the default name pattern selected is *
- Some file types only support the Eclipse Compare/Merge tools and the name
patterns for those file types are ignored
This option is active if you have the IBM Compare and Merge plugin
installed on your machine.
