The JDK (Java Development Kit) is required only if you plan to develop custom Java connectors (the Java compiler is needed). A single CD contains JDKs for all supported platforms. For information on installing the JDK, see Installing WebSphere Business Integration Adapters, Version 2.6.
IBM WebSphere MQ is the messaging software that enables communication between the integration broker and the adapters.
Refer to the following WebSphere MQ publications for installation and configuration information:
To configure WebSphere MQ to work with the integration broker, see Configuring WebSphere MQ queues for WebSphere Application Server..
For information on installing WebSphere Business Integration adapter products, refer to the Installing WebSphere Business Integration Adapters guide located in the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Infocenter at the following site:
http://www.ibm.com/websphere/integration/wbiadapters/infocenter
To use WebSphere Application Server as the integration broker with WebSphere Business Integration adapters, you must add certain plug-ins to your existing installation of WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition. The plug-ins are copied to your system when you run the installer for the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Framework (see "Installing WebSphere Business Integration adapters". The Adapter Framework installer copies the following plug-ins to the location that you specify:
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.adaptermonitor
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.adaptermonitor.help
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.csm
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.csm.help
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.ae.settings
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.codeGen
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.cwconverter
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.datamanager
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.msg.importer
\plugins\com.ibm.btools.itools.wsdlgen
In order for the installer to copy the plug-in files to the correct location on your system, you should already have WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Editions installed, before you run the Adapter Framework installer. For general instructions about installing WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, consult the documentation that is available for that product through the Infocenter.
