Assigning to me.

Aiming at next release after 0.8.2.

Does this address removal of the view in the following use cases?

1. A job is renamed thus changing the global path to the view
2. User runs the "Wipe Out Workspace" action
3. User deletes the job
4. User configures job and changes the the view name
5. User configures job and removes clearcase support

This is critical as users can easily execute these functions and when the view
is not properly managed it causes a manual administration intervention.

The first of those use cases is covered by the "Remove clearcase view on rename"
option, in the ClearCase advanced options of a job. I think it probably is best
that not removing the view should remain the default option in that case, so I
think we're ok there.

The third use case should also already be working - when the job is deleted, the
view should also be deleted. If that's not happening for you, open a bug for that.

The second use case is one I ran into a couple weeks ago when a coworker of mine
wiped out the workspaces of all my jobs to free up disk space while I was out of
town. So yeah, the current behavior (deleting the view directory, but leaving
the view registered with ClearCase) is definitely not the correct behavior, and
it should hopefully be cleared up by the work I'll be doing for this issue. It
will probably require some changes in AbstractProject.doWipeOutWorkspace, though.

Use cases #4 and #5...I don't honestly know how to detect those changes to the
job configuration before they've actually been made. If you could open an
enhancement request for those two scenarios (just the one issue covering both
cases should be fine), I'll see if there's anything I can do when I get a chance.

Adding dependency on https://hudson.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3506 for
"Wipe Out Workspace" use case.

I don't see the option to "Remove clearcase view on rename". Is that in an as
yet unreleased version of the clearcase plugin?

I am running the build on a slave agent and when I delete the job, I do not see
the workspace (or the view) getting removed. Is this supposed to remove it
immediately or after some interval?

I will open new enhancement requests for #s 4 & 5.

Looks like the rmview on rename functionality was added in 0.8.2, but yeah, I
just confirmed in a couple tests (both slave and master) that the view isn't
actually getting rmviewed when the job is deleted. If you could open a bug for
that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Ok, this is at least a two part bug - I'm going to open a new bug for the view
deletion problem and will add you as a cc.
