Is there a Java ClearCase API?
893
Many teams still use ClearCase version control — otherwise known as IBM ClearCase or Rational ClearCase.
ClearCase build problems with javac clearmake is designed to control the build order and the dependency checking between parts of a build system. Java compilers are also designed to provide some of this functionality.
Update 2016 (as mentioned by hack's answer below)
I mentioned since 2010 the CM API multiple times, as soon as 2012 and as recently as last March 2016.
Since ClearTeam 8.x, this API does support dynamic view, as well as snapshot views with 8.0.1.7.
See more with Rational ClearCase CM API introduction (v 9.0.0).
Its "installation and setup requirements" do involve Java, with at least:
Original answer (2010, pre ClearCase Team Explorer)
The is no Java API dedicated for ClearCase.
There is a Java CM API, but about the Rational CM Server used by CCRC (a light-client installation, a simple web server which will forward all request to the actual ClearCase VOB server), not for ClearCase per se:

The (Java) CM API for ClearCase was originally only available for the ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC), which at the time (V7.1), only supported Web views.
In V8.0, the CM API was enhanced to support dynamic views:
In V8.0.1.6, the CM API was enhanced to support snapshot views:
In V8.0.1.7, a new type of view for CCRC, the "automatic view", was introduced and was immediately supported by the CM API:
Thus, as of V8.0.1.6, the CM API supported all available types of views in ClearCase.
