And so it begins... <grin>
Okay, here's the deal. WDSC 7 is the last version of WDSC. It is also
the last "free" version of development tools for the System i. With the
new announcement, IBM has now unbundled server-side tools (the
compilers) and developer tools. The developer tools are broken into
three basic areas: green screen, Eclipse tools for green screen, and web
tools.
The green screen tools are the old PDM/SEU/SDA you know and love, which
IBM still calls ADTS for lack of a better term.
The Eclipse tools are the parts of WDSC used to develop green-screen
programs, such as the LPEX editors for i5/OS languages, the screen
design aid, and so on. This new tool is now known as RDi, Rational
Developer for System i.
The full web tools include all of the tooling for web development,
including Java development, web page design (including JSF), HATS, and
of course EGL.
While pricing is not yet established, ADTS and RDi will be per-seat
licenses (think more than $100 and less than $1000 per seat). I'm still
a little unclear as to whether a current license will get you any seats
of RDi, but I think we'll hear more about that in a couple of months.

reading this right that there will now be a per user charge?
