RE: Weird Websphere Studio side effect

Confusion?!?  What about RPGIV, ILE, SQL, RLU, or even QueryManager....
<g>

It seems much of the midrange community is easily confused and resistant to
new ideas (or sometimes very old ideas) and approaches.  All of these items
have generated a flood of help requests on these lists over the years...

With respect to WDSCi, I believe the biggest challenge is changing the way
we work to match the tools.  The legacy of PDM, SEU, and SDA has shaped the
way most of us work, and while I believe I've been productive in the legacy
tools, I firmly believe that I must broaden my approach to my work,
embracing new technologies as I go.  If you try to use WDSCi like a GUI PDM,
you're bound to feel a little cheated by the expreience.....

I'd guess that focused training would be the best way to expose the new
tools to a reluctant staff, giving them practical alternatives to the "way
it's always been done".  I understand that Jon Paris offers excellent
focused training on the new toolsets.

Thanks for the enlightenment! It's still showing high on the score card for
fix requirements and apparent user confusion. I suppose in ten years or so
it might just settle down. :) :)

Jack,

I don't know much about Java, however I think it's something like this. 
You fix one tight little part.  But to distribute it you put it into a jar 
file (or some such animal) that contains the whole package and send that 
out.  Nearest I can figure.  Once you get past the one big upgrade the 
other upgrades are more manageable.
