Broker toolkit is Eclipse. Yes, Eclipse will allow you to install same. I would not use the tool for JCNs but I would use it for Jars that my JCNs call.

Broker toolkit is a specific level of Eclipse.
Broker toolkit can support any plugins that work with that level of Eclipse. |

yep, i understand broker toolkit is eclipse based. however, install instructions for objectaid did not work with broker (ex: "help->install new software" was not avail from toolkit).
@lancelotlinc - curious, why do you recommend avoiding JCNs with objectaid? |

I was not recommending avoiding JCNs. Vitor, davies, zpat and mqjeff will tell you JCNs are my favorite.
I was suggesting a focus on how you use the tool. (ie. Design class objects with the tool that get incorporated into a Java jar, then call the Java jar from your JCN.)

Didn't you know that his middle name is 'Java' 
If I were in your position, I'd install a new instance of Eclipse and use that for the UML tooling. Much better to mess that instance up than the broker one.
A colleague of mine is a glutton for punishment. Recently, he installed Broker, RAD, WAS, ProcessServer and a few more products into one Eclipse instance.
It was so big that it couln't update itself... He has learned his lesson...

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

Toolkit prefers to use IBM Installation manager to install and manage features and plugins. That's why you can't see "Help->Install new software".
This doesn't mean that the normal eclipse methods aren't available. Just that you have to poke at things a bit differently.
Good luck! |
