Hi Vern,
<snip>
WDSC and RDI will always be behind the releases of Eclipse - there
is not an official relationship that I know of between the 2
development efforts. So one has to just accept that WDSC/RDI will be
where they are - it is NOT recommended to try to make them work with a
later release of Eclipse.
</snip>
I understand this. I was just wondering if somebody had an idea when IBM may be shipping a version of RDi based on a newer version of eclipse.
<snip>
Eclipse is open-source,
WDSC/RDI are not - the latter, being products of a large company like
IBM, are not going to move with the dexterity that the OSS community
can.
</snip>
Yes, but IBM support two versions of JT400 - one proprietary and the other open source. I would have thought their eclipse-based products may offer something similar. I don't expect them to have a fully supported version of RDi as soon as Ganymede is released but I DO expect them to have a published development roadmap so their customers know what is coming, allowing them to plan accordingly. We are paying them for these products after all. This roadmap could possibly include releasing beta versions of RDi (or its components) via the open source community.
(as an aside I am unconvinced about RDi. The trial version doesn't seem to have all the web stuff I use in WDSCi - but offers me an eclipse-based version of SDA. Not much of a trade in my opinion. If I was going from PDM to RDi I may be excited but going from WDSCi to RDi seems like I'm getting a lot less and paying for it - I may be wrong but it doesn't feel like it. But that is for another thread I'm sure. :-) )
<snip>
We just have to live with it - I can't see IBM modifying existing product to work with a newer version of Eclipse, ever.
</snip>
Not an existing VERSION of a product, but the product will continue to be developed. I have every expectation that RDi will move to a newer version of eclipse. Again, I was wondering if anybody knew when that would be.
OK, so I sit and wait. :-)
Cheers
Larry Ducie
