Description

When doing a build in Continuum using ClearCase as SCM it fails with the message: "Working directory "/proj/so/ext/continuum/apps/continuum/working-directory/1/.." does not exist!" which is true. Further investigations into the source code (ClearCaseCheckout.java) reveals that the directory in question is removed a couple of lines above the call to clearcase that results in this error. There is even a comment in the code that says that ClearCase need a non-existant directory for this command to work. Maybe this is different for different OSs and/or ClearCase versions?
