Try to install EGit on IBM Integration Designer 8.5.6 I face version issue
Correct Version of EGit for IBM Integration Designers 8.5.6

Our developers currently use the IBM RAD 8.5 to develop web applications (No enterprise Java beans (No J2EE), use Spring framework). The server team is planning to upgrade WebSphere from version 8 to version 9. Last I checked in the servers tab, RAD 8.5 supports WAS version 8, 8.5, and 8.5 Liberty profile. See screenshot.
Is it possible to continue to develop in RAD 8.5, and deploy to WebSphere 9 in the server environment? What kind of snag would I expect to run into? e.g. Assemble the WAR file in RAD 8.5, and deploy the WAR file in WAS 9.
Would there be any problem I should anticipate in the deployment descriptor? e.g. files like web.xml and application.xml?
Moving forward, is it better to use other IDE to do software development if we are not planning to upgrade RAD 8.5 to a newer version? Would MyEclipse(variant of Eclipse with better server support) or Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (oxygen) suffice? Do I also need the liberty profile?

What kind of issues should I be expecting? Or continue using RAD 8.5 would be a better option?
Here are some of the stackoverflow links I had checked already. There are pretty high level.

Thanks.
In my experience I could not use RAD 8.5 to control a v9 server. I could not use Java 8 in RAD 8.5. I would not expect RAD 8.5 to know about the newer versions of JPA, JAX-RS and other things in v9. You could continue to develop jee6 apps on a v8.5 server and then move them manually to a v9 server.
Liberty is worth a look but is not completely interchangeable. Liberty has features that traditional does not (MicroProfile) and lacks some older things that traditional has (JAX-RPC).
You might check out the WebSphere Developer Tools for Eclipse that have support for traditional v9. They're not as full featured as RAD but might be enough. More info is at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/was_beta/com.ibm.websphere.wdt.doc/topics/wdt_overview.htm
Adding to the information provided by Bruce, IBM had introduced OpenLiberty where one can deploy the war file built with RAD. Deploying to other application server (e.g. tomcatEE
) is possible, but it would require some work. OpenLiberty should be closest to the IBM Websphere in terms of setup and architecture.
Here are some links that provide more information.

can someone help me, I'm trying to work with Websphere Application Server 9.0 but I need to work on IBM Rational Application Developer IDE for the use of sqlj. I tried to install IBM Rational Application Developer IDE version 8.0 but Websphere Application Server 9.0 is not supported with this IDE. Do I need to install IBM Rational Application Developer 9.0 IDE to work with Websphere Application Server 9.0? Or is there any other IDE that supports Websphere Application Server 9.0 and sqlj scripts both.
According this IBM KnowledgeCenter for IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere, it looks like RAD v9.6 is the lowest version to support Websphere Application Server 9.0.
I am attempting (and failing) to configure a development environment as follows:-
Eclipse 4.5 for Java EE Developers (Mars).
WebSphere Developer Tools
IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale v8.5 Liberty Profile Developer Tools
WebSphere eXtreme Scale V8.6 for Developers - Liberty Profile
WAS Liberty V8.5.5.6 with Java EE 7 Full Platform
The issues I have relate to my organisations security constraints related to downloading resources from external web sites.
I can successfully configure the following separate environments
eXtreme Scale
Eclipse 4.5 for Java EE Developers (Mars).
WebSphere Developer Tools into Eclipse
WebSphere eXtreme Scale V8.6 for Developers - Liberty Profile
WAS Liberty Beta v9 with OSGi Applications
JEE7
Eclipse 4.5 for Java EE Developers (Mars).
WebSphere Developer Tools into Eclipse
WAS Liberty V8.5.5.6 with Java EE 7 Full Platform
My two blockers are
Eclipse eXtreme Scale tools
IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale v8.5 Liberty Profile Developer Tools
Are only available as an Update Site. I can only install eclipse tools as zip archives.
Are these Eclipse tools available as a zip archive?
OSGi Blueprint
This feature is only installable using the command line
bin/installUtility install blueprint-1.0
Is this feature available as a jar download?
About Eclipse eXtreme Scale tools. You can get the zip version here,
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/extremescale/eclipse/localSite/localUpdateSite.zip
However, this tool will only work up to Eclipse Juno. More information here,
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/ibm-websphere-extreme-scale-v86-liberty-profile-developer-tools
About OSGi Blueprint. AFAIK, there is no zip version. If there is a firewall issue, consider installing the required Liberty Runtime stack, zip it up and put it in the required machine.
btw, you may also need wab-1.0 as well as blueprint-1.0. Here is the information,
https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/#asset/features-com.ibm.websphere.appserver.wab-1.0
Hope it helps
i have to migrate some project from Eclipse to RAD 7.5.5
Now i'm trying to install a maven plugin like i had on Eclipse, but i can't find it, i tried
http://repository.sonatype.org/content/sites/forge-sites/m2e
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-e34/
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
those sites that i found on web when i go for:
Help>Software Updates>Aviable Software>Add sites
gives to me "no repository found"
So i need a working repository to install Maven.
I found that this maven/rad version is very aged, so it can be hard to find now.
Any .zip file will be fine also.
First of all, RAD 7.5.x is not supported anymore by IBM (EOS dated on September 30, 2014), so my first advice is to move up to a newer version and I have the feeling that RAD includes Maven support since 8.5.1. Latest version out there is 9.1.1.

Second, honestly I don't recall which version of Eclipse is used in RAD 7.5.x. If it is older than Eclipse 3.6 then I don't think there is any integration for it. Try this repo
http://download.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/releases/juno/
Here is the M2E for WTP site in Eclipse Marketplace

Has anyone successfully configured WebSphere Commerce Developer 6.0 to use WAS 6.1 and RAD 7.0?
I'm working on a site implemented with IBM WebSphere Commerce Developer 6.0. In production the site runs on WebSphere Application Server 6.1, which is officially supported. We'd like to run our local developer environments on WAS 6.1 as well, but the migration instructions cover only stand-alone servers. Commerce Developer is limited to WAS 6.0 according to the documentation below:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wchelp/v6r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.commerce.admin.doc%2Ftasks%2Ftmgwas61.htm
We're hoping to be able to leverage Java 5 support and other features of WAS 6.1 while staying on WebSphere Commerce Developer 6.0. We have some portions of the code developed using Java 5, but currently we have to deploy this code to a stand-alone server to test, which is less than ideal.
Nope.. can't be done. The issue is that the runtime and tooling is all linked together.
