24 Jan 2006In this article, Jirong Hu discusses how managing the release of large-scale development projects can be simplified by using some specialized ClearCase techniques.Introduction
This article discusses some practical solutions to the management of large-scale J2EE development using IBM Rational ClearCase as the central of software configuration management system. Topics such as using a mainline approach together with composite baselines and some other useful techniques are discussed.
Note: The term "J2EE" refers to the Java 2 platform, Enterprise Edition, now more commonly referred to as "Java EE." For more detailed conceptual information on ClearCase, Unified Change Management (UCM) and Software Configuration Management (SCM) in general, readers can refer to the highly recommended resources in the References section.
In this article, a large-scale workplace is considered as a development environment if it is characterized with the following features. (A large bank is a good example.)
- Enterprise-level J2EE development with dozens of running projects
- Hundreds of releases from different projects that have to be coordinated
- Hundreds of end users
- Architecture-oriented design with dozens of interdependent subsystems
