Software requirements for extending an installed Eclipse
IDE
The products in this version of the IBM® Rational Software Delivery Platform were
developed for use with version 3.4, or later, of the Eclipse integrated
development environment (IDE). You can only extend an existing Eclipse IDE of
version 3.4 with latest updates from eclipse.org.
To extend
an installed Eclipse IDE, you also require a Java™ runtime environment from one of these Java development kits:
IBM 32-bit
SDK for Windows, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version
6.0 service release 2; Sun Java 2
Standard Edition 6.0 Update 2 for Microsoft Windows
IBM 32-bit
SDK for Linux on Intel architecture, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version 6.0 service
release 6; Sun Java 2 Standard
Edition 6.0 Update 6 for Linux x86
(not supported for SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server [SLES] Version 9)
Note: You might need to update your Eclipse version in order
to install updates to Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality.
Refer to the release documentation of the update for information on
changes to the prerequisite Eclipse version.
Additional software requirements
The GNU Image Manipulation Program Toolkit (GTK+),
Version 2.2.1 or later, and associated libraries (GLib, Pango).
- One of the following Web browsers to view the readme files and
the installation guide and to support the Standard Widget Toolkit
(SWT) browser widget:
Microsoft Internet
Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1, or later
Mozilla 1.6 or later
Firefox 1.5 or later Note: - On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation
Version 4.0, set the environment variable MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to the
folder that contain your Firefox or Mozilla installation. For example,
enter this command: setenv MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.
- To support the SWT browser widget, your Firefox browser must have
been compiled with linkable Gecko libraries. Firefox downloads from
mozilla.org currently do not satisfy this criteria, but Firefox installations
that are included in major Linux distributions
often do.

Mozilla, you need version 1.7, or later, to run the launchpad.
