install multiple IBM® Software Development Platform products on the same
workstation, review the information in this section.

in a shared package group.

about known compatibility issues and workarounds, see the following technote:http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3360&uid=swg27014124
The following limitation exists for shared installations:
- If you install more than one product into a shared package group, when
you launch the product, the splash screen of the first installed product is
always launched. However, after the splash screen, the correct product opens.
If you have installed other Eclipse 3.4.1 based products using a mechanism
other than Installation Manager,
you can attempt to install InfoSphere Data Architect into
the same Eclipse IDE, using the Extend an existing Eclipse IDE option
in Installation Manager.
However, this type of installation will fail if the Eclipse environment is
not exactly compatible with InfoSphere Data Architect Version
7.5.1.
