Re: How different is v7 from v5 ?

It says you can but I have had little success with doing that. I use the MyEclipse plugin and attempted to install WDSCi over the top of it and vise a versa and was unsuccessful. There are dependencies in WDSCi on the IBM JVM that won't allow you to install some features unless the IBM JVM is referenced in the Eclipse environment. I tried changing JVM references and then installing but I still couldn't pull it off.

Although WDSCi is based on Eclipse 3.2 there are still some incompatibilities with other plugins. When I get some time, I will attempt to do a clean install on another machine and experiment with installation sequences and JVM's to see if I can get MyEclipse and WDSCi to peacefully co-exist, but I haven't had the time. I think WDSCi will always be a bit more picky about the Eclipse version, JVM's and plugins that exist before it will use an existing Eclipse installation.

That has been my experience so far.

Neither WDSCi 6.0 or 7.0 fully supports Eclipse SWT, JFace, Eclipse plug-in or Eclipse RCP for Java development. I have two open PMRs on

subject. It seems that to save space the SWT/JFace documentation and Eclipse source is left out. This cripples PDE, at least as far as using

extension points for plug-ins.

I'm not sure if it will help you or not, but I believe that you can install WDSC v7 as an extension to an existing Eclipse install. I think it's the fourth or fifth page in the WDSC v7 installer. Maybe you could get what you want by first installing vanilla Eclipse (and whatever plugins you need), and then adding the WDSC components as an extension to that.
