Part of planning entails making decisions about things such as
installation locations, working with other applications, extending Eclipse,
or configuring help content. This section provides information that helps
you with these decisions.
Installation directories
IBM Installation
Manager uses two directories when installing product artifacts: the
shared resources directory and the package group.
Extending an existing Eclipse IDE
When you install the IBM Rational Application Developer
for WebSphere Software product
package, you can choose to extend an Eclipse integrated development
environment (IDE) already installed on your computer by adding the
functions that the product package contains.
Help content installation options
During installation, you must choose from three options
for how you access help content when you work with the product.
