<h2><a name="introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>Ant provides several optional tasks for working with ClearCase. These tasks correspond to various
ClearCase commands using the Cleartool program. The current tasks available for Ant correspond to only
a few of the significant ClearCase commands.</p>
<p>More tasks can be easily added by deriving from the ClearCase class and then adding
functionality that is specific to that ClearCase command.</p>
<p>
Important: these tasks all require <code>cleartool</code> on the command line.
If a task fails with an IOException, especially error code 2 on Windows,
this is your problem.
