In order to get the Websphere toolkit that is compatible with RDi 7.5 (based
on Eclipse 3.4), you get to have WAS 7.0. The toolkit that comes with WAS
6.1 is based on Eclipse 3.2. I do believe you get a "Local developer use
license" and installation media for WAS 6.1 and 7.0 for testing and
debugging locally on your desktop. but that is not my area of expertise.

Anyway, the more I know WebSphere, the more I like Tomcat.

There is no "requirement" to purchase RAD to perform J2EE development.

You can install the Eclipse Web Tools project plug-ins into your RDi
workbench.

If you are using Websphere 6.1 or later, you still are not required to
purchase RAD

WAS 7.0 includes with it an Eclipse (Rational Application Developer
Toolkit
for Websphere 7.5, which is NOT Rational Application Developer for
WebSphere
7.5) that can be installed into the RDi workbench that gives you all of
the
WAS 6.1 and 7.0 goodies... and then you install the Eclipse Web Tools
project into your RDi workbench.
This is INCLUDED with V6R1.

Tada... you have a full J2EE development workbench with all of the WAS 6.1
and 7.0 stuff like publishing and debugging that is not included in the
default Eclipse distributions.
It is practically as complete as RAD 7.5 without ANY ADDITIONAL Licensing
costs.

This is confusing as all get out... but there you are.


This is good news! We're sticking with WAS 6.1 because we don't want to
purchase RAD. Are you able to debug locally on your desktop? I've tried
AST which came with WAS 6.1 but was unable to use the Websphere Test
Environment to debug locally.

Is this documented anywhere?

Thanks!
