PDM, SDA, etc. are NOT going
away.
We will be providing better
alternatives through CODE and now as of v5.1 Websphere Development
Studio.

Hi Dwight,
I'm curious where your getting your
information from? This is the first I heard about PDM, SDA, etc. going away!
Is this something you've heard or is it fact? Just wondering.
Thanks
Chris

Get used to the whole code package.
I've played with project, and designer
too. I find a few drawbacks, but it does have a lot of nice
features too.
The biggest thing nobody seems to be
aware of is IBM plans to ditch SEU SDA
PDM with v5.1. They are
also working on eliminating DDS.
Our world will be changing drastically,
and the more we work with that stuff
the less shocking it
will be.
