While it is shipped _with_ WDSc (which is based on Eclipse) the CODE Designer has its roots in the earlier CODE/400 tool set. This is important to understand if you do not have the kind of computing horsepower needed to run WDSc. CODE and CODE Designer have a much smaller footprint and will run OK on a PIII with 256Mb of memory. As always more memory is useful but not needed if you don't need to run WDSc. The current release (designated V5.1.2 - the release matches WebSphere release numbers not OS/400) offer the opportunity to install just the "classic" tools such as CODE without installing WDSc. It is distributed not as part of OS/400 but rather as part of the compiler tools. Not that this makes a lot of difference on a development box .... but if you own a compiler, you own the tools.
