Using oXygen in IBM Rational Application Developer
Hi, I am in the process of switching from a pure Eclipse environment to IBM's Rational Application Developer and was wondering if it is possible to use the current version of oXygen in this environment. The download page suggests that oXygen only runs with Eclipse 3.1 but IBM RAD is based on 3.0. Does that mean that I would have to downgrade to oXygen 6.1 (last one that was eclipse 3.0 based) or is there another solution? I guess one would be using it stand-alone but that's not really what I'm looking for. Any ideas?

The latest version of oXygen does not work in RAD. As an aside, fight very hard to stay as far away as possible from RAD.
Hello, As stated on the Download page and in the User Manual the Eclipse plugin distribution only supports the latest Eclipse version available at the release date. Usually the plugin also works in other Eclipse versions but when the Eclipse team introduces changes in the API accessed by the <oXygen/> plugin some features of the plugin stop working. The next version of <oXygen/> adapts to the API changes but the versions already released are left supporting what was available at the release date. That means the API changes introduced between the stable Eclipse versions 3.0 and 3.1 limit you to the version 6.1 of the plugin. Best regards, Sorin Timothy Reaves wrote:
