 {panel:title= What is the *SCM Adapter* and how does it differ from CCRC ?|borderStyle=solid|}
 
 The *SCM Adapter* is an Eclipse plugin that allows eclipse developers to use the native ClearCase client to
 perform team operations in Eclipse over a high speed LAN. The *SCM Adapter* can use snapshot and dynamic views, yet requires
the full ClearCase client installed on the desktop running Eclipse. In a short simple analogy, the *SCM
 Adapter* throws native UI gui's up to bridge between Eclipse and ClearCase.

 Adapter\* throws native UI gui's up to bridge between Eclipse and ClearCase.
 All standard rules , restrictions and configurations that are present for a standard ClearCase native client
 apply for the SCM Adapter
  
*SCM Adapter* can be downloaded from [here|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/content/03July/2500/2834/ClearCase]/clearcase_plugins.html
  *SCM Adapter* can be downloaded from [here|http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=984&uid=swg24024213]/clearcase_plugins.html
  
 CCRC is an Eclipse plugin(or a standalone RCP application that can be installed) that allows eclipse developers to use a self
 contained client to perform team operations in Eclipse either over a LAN or WAN. CCRC is more of a true client model
 as it requires a webserver(a.k.a CCRC/CM Server) to interact with.
  
 \\
 Below are the links for the latest client versions, all previous client version are available if rolling back
 is needed. By default the CCRC client should point to this site to find its updates automatically, yet these
 client update sites can be added (or even used to install the latest version in a fresh Eclipse shell.

 {panel:title=Questions and Answers|borderStyle=solid|borderStyle=solid|}
  
 h4. When using CCRC in Eclipse, How can I have the startup always be the ClearCase perspective ?
  
 from the command line :
 {noformat}
 eclipse -perspective com.ibm.rational.clearcase.ui.perspective.CCPerspective
 {noformat}
 If you start Eclipse normally, change perspectives manually, shutdown and restart, Eclipse
 remembers the last used perspective, yet the above command line option forces it everytime.
  
 h4. How can I install CCRC ?
  
 *Answer:* The ClearCase Remote Client installation instructions(for standalone install, plugin and .NET) are locate at any SR4 or later CCWeb server's page
 http://<ccwebservername>/ccrc/update
 || To download the client directly(for example) || ||
 | For CCRC.NET | http://<ccwebservername>/ccrc/update/ccrcvsi_win32.zip |
 | For CCRC RCP (Linux) | http://<ccwebservername>/ccrc/update/ccrc_linux.zip |
 | For CCRC RCP (WIndows) | http://<ccwebservername>/ccrc/update/ccrc_win32.zip |
