Question & Answer


Question

Are instructions available on how to install version 8.0 of Rational Software Delivery Platform products into an existing Eclipse 3.6 integrated development environment (IDE)?

Answer

To successfully install version 8.0 of a Rational Software Delivery Platform product on top of Eclipse 3.6 (sometimes referred to as "extending Eclipse"), follow the instructions corresponding to your product available at this IBM developerWorks resource:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Rational+Installation+Wiki/page/Install+into+an+Existing+Eclipse+instance

  • Rational Software Architect for WebSphere Software, Version 8.x
  • Rational Application Developer (RAD) for WebSphere Software, Version 8.x
  • Rational Application Developer Standard Edition for WebSphere Software, Version 8.x

  • Rational Business Developer (RBD), Version 8.x
