RE: Trial of RDi SOA

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rdi and RBD will share the eclipse shell, as long as all the parts use
the same jvm...  IBM has released JVM updates in some of their service
releases, so be careful.  

If you install from the standard trial packages, install all the parts
you want (Rdi, RBD, WAS, HATS), THEN update to the newest versions,
you'll be fine.  The order you install the products matters too.  I
usually go in this order: RBD, WAS, RDi, HATS.

It depends on what you need. I wanted to try EGL, and only needed RBD. I
also tried to make RDI coexist with RBD in a shared installation. That
was a disaster, but RBD stand-alone worked just fine. This was a couple
of months (as in 2) back, so things may be different now.
