Installation considerations
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). - Extending an existing Eclipse IDE
When you install the product package or packages, you can extend an Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) that is already installed on your computer. By extending Eclipse, you add the functions that your new product or products contain to the IDE. - Increasing the number of file handles on Linux workstations
For best product performance, increase the number of file handles above the default setting of 1024 handles.
