We have our projects stored under clearcase vob so checking files in and out works fine. However, the workspace data itself is stored under IBM/Application Developer/workspaces directory, which obviously isn't source controlled.
Howver, removing files from the project causes problems. When we set clearcase to load a previous label or a branch that still has those removed files WSAD thinks the files are still removed and doesn't load them. This obviously causes compilatoin problems.
Is there any way to make WSAD act like MS Visual Studio, where both project and workspace files are source controlled as well.

Hi Joseph,
You can have a WSAD workspace which only contains the .metadata folder, and move all the sources to a CCase folder.
This can be done through WSAD using "Move project into ClearCase" and "Add to Source control"

So you code is fully source controlled

I believe this is what I've done. The entire project tree is under clearcase. The workspace information (like what files are part of what project) is stored within that .metadata folder itself and thus isn't source controlled.

Do you update your view from within WSAD or externally using the CC interface. If done externally, you will have to do a Refresh from Local in WSAD to synch up.
That is assuming that the files were actually removed with rm or rmname, not rmelem which actually deletes the files from existence, past and present. Have you tried creating the view outside of WSAD altogether to confirm they are actually being loaded?

Updating through WSAD solved the problem. Thanks.
