<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<p>Apache Ant provides several optional tasks for working with ClearCase. These tasks correspond to
various ClearCase commands using the <kbd>cleartool</kbd> 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 <kbd>cleartool</kbd> on the command line. If a task fails
with an <code>IOException</code>, especially <code>error=2</code> on Windows, this is your
problem.</p>
