The Application Server Toolkit, Rational Web Developer and Rational Application Developer assembly tools provide a graphical interface for developing code artifacts, assembling the code artifacts into various archives (modules) and configuring related Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) deployment descriptors.
Install an assembly tool on an operating system that the assembly tools support, such as a Linux Intel or Windows platform.
If you have installed an assembly tool previously and you install an assembly tool again, you must delete the workspace of the previous installation of the assembly tool before starting it. The default workspace directory is my_directory/eclipse/workspace. If you do not delete the workspace for a previous installation, you might encounter error messages such as the following when starting the assembly tool:
Problems during startup. Check the ".log" file in the ".metadata" directory of your workspace.
You can import or create new modules of the following types, to assemble into an application module later:
Rather than import or create new modules to assemble an application, you can proceed directly to assembling a new application module. While assembling an application module, you can create any new modules that you need.
