This file lists all the JARs that support your project and performs some
other tasks such as supply links to Javadoc for those JARs that you set
up if in coding you wish to see more usefully the interfaces therein or,
when debugging, wish to step debug down inside them.
The JARs are thereby considered to be "on your class path" for the
purpose of compilation, but as I noted above, also for the Editor's use
(Content Assist, what Visual Studio calls Intellisense) and the
debugger's use.
When you are in Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Libraries (tab)
and making changes, Eclipse needs write access to this file.

Is it merely in a project loaded from ClearCase or actually checked out for write access? IIRC, ClearCase uses a pessimistic model where you have to, at some point, explicitly declare you want to modify a file before you can make any changes to it, and that may supersede any filesystem-level notion of readonlyness.
