IBM® Rational® Business Developer provides support for EGL, which is a programming language that simplifies software development.
When you use EGL, you can focus on the business problem that your code is addressing rather than on the detailed aspects of software technology. For example, the details of Java Enterprise Edition are hidden so that you can deliver enterprise data to browsers even if you have minimal experience with web technologies.
For information about hardware and software compatibility, see the detailed system requirements document at http://ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3456&uid=swg27023917.
For detailed installation instructions, see the installation guide at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rbdhelp/v8r0m0.
