use the Eclipse IDE (integrated development environment) to work on
a project previously created in IBM® Rational® Rhapsody®:
Procedure
Display the existing C or C++ project in Rational Rhapsody.
In the browser, right-click the Component
in the project for which you want to create an Eclipse configuration
and then select Add New > Eclipse
Configuration. The system displays a window,
asking whether the user wants to launch the IDE if it is not running.
Note: If IDE is already running, be certain that
the ports for Eclipse and Rational Rhapsody match
by selecting the Code > IDE
options from the Rational Rhapsody menu
and making any changes required. If the ports do not match, a new
IDE might open even if the user meant to switch to the running IDE!
