RE: Why are there Two Clients? -- WDSCI-L

It's probably impossible to reverse-engineer why the directory structure is as it is. This looks confusing at first, but the basis, as I understand it, is, everything above Eclipse is done with plugins. So WDSC is not so much a separate product as it is a set of plugins. Yes, it starts with a separate executable, but that probably ends up calling WSSD under the covers.

I'm not sure of the history - WDSC actually goes back to its predecessor, WDT, which goes back to the CODE/400 & VA-RPG bundle. I don't remember whether WDSC v4 was Eclipse-based - there've been 'way too many changes. ;-)

I don't like it either, but I can see why it happened the way it did.
WebSphere Studio always installs as a "proper" Windows program, and was
developed by a team wholly separate from the WDSC team.  WDSC, on the
other hand, uses the same path ("C:\WDSC" by default) that its
pre-Eclipse predecessors used (and those predecessors are still bundled
and apparently require a directory with no spaces in the pathname).

Colin and Stu,

Thanks.  I'll leave everything installed and try to make sure I never
run
the wssd Client.  What I find particularly confusing is that I now see
two
complete directory paths that are used - one for each Client.  Weird way
to
install.

Bill
