Installing the Rational Asset Manager Eclipse client

This section contains the instructions to install the IBM® Rational® Asset Manager Eclipse client.

About this task

You can install the Rational Asset Manager Eclipse client by either of two methods:

If an Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) is installed on your computer, you can use the Eclipse update manager to find and install the Rational Asset Manager Eclipse client plug-ins from a Rational Asset Manager server. To install the client plug-in, follow the Eclipse update process (Help > Software Updates > Find and Install).
If an Eclipse IDE is not installed on your computer, install the Eclipse client from the Rational Asset Manager installation media. You can also install the Eclipse client into an existing Eclipse IDE by this method.
