The Dimensions for Eclipse Plug-in enables you to:
Access Dimensions CM objects directly through the Eclipse workspace. You can access the files directly through Eclipse perspectives such as the Package or Java perspectives, or you can access specific information through the perspectives and views supplied with the plug-in. See Serena Editors, Views, and Perspectives for details of the different perspectives available in the plug-in.
Connect to multiple Dimensions CM servers concurrently through the Serena Explorer view. See Connecting to Dimensions CM for details.
Work with files in a shared work area that is compatible with the desktop and other clients. See Sharing Work Areas with Other Dimensions Clients.
Perform request management functions, such as browsing requests, creating requests, actioning requests, and delegating requests, through Serena Explorer.
Work on parallel development projects using agile models such as stream-based development, workspace synchronization, and optimistic locking.
Perform version control activities, such as check in and check out, through package explorer and other Eclipse views.
