We're developing an application that should run on multiple platforms, but
most of us are sitting on M$ clients when editing. Some people use Solaris
(Sparc) and some use Linux. The target platforms are Linux and Tru64 on
different hw platforms.
Currently we're transferring the source-code from the repository/view to a
build-server each time we build. We're using rSync for this, and it takes
quite a lot of time since it has to scan the whole source-tree (in a
ClearCase view, slooow) each time before a build.
The build-root on the remote machine is NOT mounted on to the M$ machines,
but access is possible via ssh without passwords.
Is there any way to automate the mirroring of the code, so that once all
the code is transferred at startup, only the updated files (on the client)
gets updated on the build-server?
If not, can someone suggest a good starting-point for creating a plugin
capable of doing this?
Cheers,
Jonas Jonsson

I'd think that rsync is exactly what you'd want to use for this.
If you use a ClearCase snapshot view instead of a dynamic view,
it should be really fast.
As an alternative, you might want to consider editing files
directly on the remote side. But then you don't have clearcase
version control.
Or are you thinking about a solution where you edit locally, under
ClearCase, and have a hook with the editor such that any "save"
operation would not only save locally but also transfer to the remote?
I haven't played with such hooks so far, so you'd want to consider
eclipse.platform for the hook. Once you've got the hook the actual
transfer could be done through RSE. Look at our EclipseCon Tutorial
slides for some sample code how to transfer files:
