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.
Coexistence considerations
If you have other Rational products installed on your computer,
review the information in this section.
Extending an existing Eclipse IDE
When you install the IBM Rational® Software
Modeler 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.
Upgrade and coexistence information
If you have a previous version of the product installed
on your computer, review the information in this section.
Web-based help content
Some help systems are configured to use remote help so that you
can pull in content from the Web dynamically. With remote help, you always
have the latest content available from within your product. Some help systems
are not configured to access help content on the Web; in such cases, help
content is included with the installation.
