Part of planning entails making decisions about installation locations,
working with other applications, extending Eclipse, upgrading, migrating,
and configuring help content.
Installation locations IBM® Installation Manager retrieves
product packages from specified repositories and installs the products into selected locations,
which are referred to as package groups.
Coexistence
Some products are designed to coexist and share functions
when they are installed in the same package group. A package group
is a location where you can install one or more software product packages.
Installing with your Eclipse instance
The product package that you install using IBM Installation Manager comes with
a version of Eclipse, which is the base platform of this product package. If you already have
Eclipse installed on your workstation, you can add your product package directly to that Eclipse
installation and extend the functions of the Eclipse integrated development environment
(IDE).
