This topic contains prerequisite information for installing the toolkits available with WebSphere® Premises Server.
WebSphere Premises Server Toolkit requires the following hardware and software.
Hardware
Software
This toolkit requires the following software:
In addition, Eclipse 3.3.2 is required for the toolkit. Eclipse can be installed by extracting the eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-win32.zip file into a local directory. The .zip file is available on the disk containing the IBM Data Capture and Delivery Toolkit for WebSphere Premises Server.
If you intend to extend the IBM Data Capture and Delivery Toolkit for WebSphere Premises Server, it is recommended that you compile all code changes against the OSGi/Minimum-1.1 specification. A reference specification is contained in the ee.minimum.jar file that you can download from OSGi at http://www2.osgi.org/Release4/Download. Specifically, for WebSphere Premises Server 6.1.x versions, you need Release 4 Version 4.1, available at http://www.osgi.org/Download/Release4V41.
This environment is recommended for small hardware platforms that run a very minimal Java™ environment. If you do not need to deploy IBM Data Capture and Delivery Toolkit for WebSphere Premises Server on such a platform, then you may choose to use a larger environment, such as CDC/Foundation. If you use an OSGi/Minimum-1.1 environment, your code will be able to run on larger Java environments as well.
