Adam:
Thanks for the suggestion. I read about that capability in the release
announcement. I'll have to set up a test environment and give it a try.
For now I just borrow the plug-in for iseries tool box from WDSCI 7 for my
Eclipse installation. It gives me the AS400 toolbox for java (the IBM
version of JT Open) plus the iSeries toolbox.
The WDSCI 7 path for the plugin is:
C:\Program
Files\IBM\SDP70Shared\plugins\com.ibm.etools.iseries.toolbox.doc_7.0.0.v200702012355
The path for the javadocs is:
C:\Program
Files\IBM\SDP70Shared\plugins\com.ibm.etools.iseries.toolbox_7.0.0.v200702012355
Unfortuanately the javadocs aren't tied to the the classes so the editor
can't give you Shift-F2 help, show the docs in content assist, etc. Oh
well.
It is an improvement from 5 and 6 where the jar files and java docs were
separate.
The iseries toolbox is quite different in 7 than it was in 5 and 6. In
the earlier releases it had 6 packages. In 7 there are 96 packages.

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
the
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.
HTH,
Adam
