When in IBM Rational Developer for i I do a Help, About, and see I am at Version: 7.1.0.75 of the Implementer Plug-in. How do I check for updates?

      The Implementer plug-in for Rational Developer is just a regular Eclipse plug-in ... so you would use the built-in plug-in update procedure.

      Do the following:

      • Click on the Help menu
      • Select Install New Software... (you could use the Check for Updates, but I find the Install New Software option faster).
      • When the Available Software dialog is displayed, select the software site that you setup for the Implementer plug-in.
      • If there is a new version of the plug-in available, it will be shown.

      NOTES:

      1. The Implementer plug-in is tied directly to the version of Implementer being used ... if there is a new version available the plug-in will require an update in order to function.
      2. The Implementer plug-in does not rev very often. Usually only on a new Implementer version install/upgrade. Chances of an update being required is fairly slim.

      Thank you for your reply.

      Is there a chart listing Implementer level compatibility with Plug-in? Like "Version . . . : 11.0" of Implementer goes with 7.1.0.75 of the Implementer Plug-in?

      IDSPVER indicates

      Implementer 11.0 (build 7.1 140429)

      so 7.1.0.75 matches "7.1 140429" because of the 7.1 alone, right?
