I think people are using WebSphere Development tools and WebSphere Development Studio as if they are the same thing. To me they do not look to be the same. WDT http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400/ WDS http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ad/wds400/ WDT looks to be for the person who just wants the workstation software http://commerce.www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/CategoryDisplay?cntrfnbr=1&cgmenbr=1&cntry=840&lang=en_US&scrfnbr=73&cgrfnbr=2181221&x=12&y=10 WDS is also the host software (compilers) http://commerce.www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/CategoryDisplay?cntrfnbr=1&cgmenbr=1&cntry=840&lang=en_US&scrfnbr=73&cgrfnbr=2131722&x=8&y=4 and it does cost $8,200 for a P10, $3,650 for a P05 And it looks like you still have to buy (pay a licensing fee) pase to compile C++.
