Before you can install the Rational ClearQuest Designer,
there are additional dependencies that must be installed. These dependencies
do vary depending on whether you are installing Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse into
a base Eclipse shell, or an existing Rational product
built on Eclipse such as Rational Application
Developer. Consult the documentation for those other Rational products to determine if they already meet the Rational ClearQuest Designer
dependencies.
