IBM WebSphere Integration Developer

Current version is 6.0.2. Updates will be made available through the Rational Product Updater. As I installed it on 10/2/2007, necessary updates were available and required to be installed.

• WebSphere Integration Developer Fix Pack 6.0.2.2
  
• WebSphere Integration Developer 6.0.2.2 Interim Fix 002
• WebSphere Integration Developer 6.0.2.2 National Language Support Interim Fix
• J2EE Connector Tools 6.0.1.5
  

Downloading these fixpacks failed three times since the operation timed out. Learned from IBM forum that the interim fix may cause error. Cross off the two interim fixes. Failed the fourth time.

If IBM WebSphere Process Server Test Environment is also installed, its updates are not provided through the Rational Product Updater, but may be obtained by visiting http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wps/support/. Current updates are Fixpack 2 to 6.0.2, released on 7/31/2007.

Started using WID without updates. Since we use Harvest, I started with installing Harvest plugin. WID 6.0.2 uses Eclipse 3.0.2. Harvest plugin site is the same for Eclipse 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0. The site is http://supportconnectw.ca.com/public/harvesteclipse.

Carefully selected Eclipse 3.0, then plugin version 6.20.2. Check out a project from Harvest, no problem. Synchronize the workspace with Harvest, it suggested removing local files.

Harvest plugin was actually installed under rwd. Locate it and uninstall it. Do the plugin installation again, select 6.20.1 and then carefully select the destination to eclipse not rwd. This time the synchronization worked fine.

WID 6.0.2 uses Sun JDK 1.4.2 as default JRE. It has WAS 5.1 and 6.0, but not 6.1. It has the default perspective Business Integration, the only one cannot be found in Rational Software Architect 7.0.0.3.
