Part of planning entails making decisions about installation locations,
working with other applications, extending Eclipse, upgrading, migrating,
and configuring help content.
Installation locations
IBM® Installation
Manager retrieves product packages from specified repositories and
installs the products into selected locations, which are referred
to as package groups.
Coexistence
Some products are designed to coexist and share functions
when they are installed in the same package group. A package group
is a location where you can install one or more software product packages.
Installing with your Eclipse instance
The product package that you install using IBM Installation Manager comes with a version
of Eclipse, which is the base platform of this product package. If
you already have Eclipse installed on your workstation, you can add
your product package directly to that Eclipse installation and extend
the functions of the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE).
