Since ClearCase uses your OS identity, you need to check what OS identify that the plug-in is running as.  Then login as that OS identity, and try the lock operation via cleartool.   If you cannot figure out what OS identify your plug-in is running as, followup to this forum.  If you get an error from cleartool that you don't understand, then you'll want to start a thread in the ClearCase forum:

To find out what OS identity you are running as, you can execute the whoami command ... to execute this command from within java, the easiest is probably to just spawn a shell process (e.g. http://www.java-forums.org/advanced-java/731-get-output-whoami.html).  I'm not an expert at plug-in OS identity, but I would imagine a plugin running within eclipse will normally just run with whatever OS identity invoked the eclipse executable, while a plugin running on the server would run with whatever OS identity invoked the server.   To get an authoritative answer, I'd suggest posting a new question on "What OS identity does my RTC plugin run as" (and indicate what kind of plug-ins you are interested in).
