      When using dynamic views, these can be accessed by /view/viewtag and that's fine. However, most plugins use workspace relative paths and don't accept absolute path like above. Therefore I would recommend that symbolic link for the view is created in workspace to be able to access the files from the view.

      Setting custom workspace on a view is not an option, since if the view is not started Hudson fails before even coming to SCM plugin which would start the view.

          Good idea. However, this would be restricted to Unix hosts, and I only have access to Windows hosts with Clearcase. Feel free to contribute a patch, I'll be happy to apply it.

          But, XCOPY doesn't work in Windows Vista o newer. See the console, is throw "Invalid Path".
