Flash plug-in requirement
In order to properly view multimedia user assistance, such as Tours, Tutorials, and Show me viewlets, you need to have Flash Player for Linux version 6.0r69 or later installed.
Mozilla 1.4 GTK2, or Mozilla 1.5 GTK2, or Mozilla 1.6 GTK2 with SWT3.0, or Mozilla 1.7 GTK2 and above with SWT3.1 V3104 must be installed. The version of Mozilla installed on your system will vary with your Linux distribution. For more details on supported software and specification for Rational Developer, refer to the Installation Guide.
To find Mozilla download and installation instructions, refer to www.mozilla.org.
If Mozilla is not installed, you will receive the following error message when opening the online help:
An exception occurred while launching help. Refer to the log for more details.
If Mozilla is not installed you will receive the following error message when invoking RUP®:
An SWT error has occurred.
You are recommended to exit the workbench.
Subsequent errors may happen and may terminate the workbench without warning.
See the .log file for more details.
Due to differences in plugin loading behavior on different systems, links to wizards and information on optionally installable features may not be displayed in the Welcome.
Some wizards and windows are modal, which means that until you finish working in them, you cannot switch to a different window in the product. This is an issue when you refer to help topics in the help browser, or tutorials in the Tutorials Gallery for guidance on how to complete a wizard.
To view the online help while you work in a modal window, either print the help information, or set the online help to open in an external browser.
To set the online help to open in an external browser:
- Click Windows > Preferences.
- Click Help.
- Select the Always use external browsers check box.
- Click Apply.
- Click OK.
Note: Some help information is available in PDF. You can view this information in Adobe Acrobat Reader while working with a modal window.
When upgrading from one Rational Software Development Platform product to another using the ESD images, ensure that you download and extract the same set of images for the new product that you downloaded and extracted for the original product. The same components installed in the original product will be automatically installed in the upgraded product.
For example, if the Language Pack was originally installed, when upgrading you will need to have the Language Pack downloaded and extracted into the new product installation image.
