Development and deployment tools
The WAS V7.0 environment comes with a rich set of development tools. All editions of WAS V7.0 include a full licensed version of the Rational Application Developer Assembly and Deploy V7.5, as well as a 60 day trial version of the Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software V7.5.
Rational Application Developer Assembly and Deploy V7.5 supports only the version of the WAS with which it ships. This means that Rational Application Developer Assembly and Deploy V7.5 supports most new features of WAS V7.0 and supports it as an integrated test environment. It does not, however, support any of the previous versions of WAS as integrated test environments.
Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software V7.5 supports all new features of WAS V7.0 and is a fully featured integrated development environment for developing SIP, Portlet, Web services, and Java EE applications. It supports previous versions of WAS (V6.0 and V6.1) as an integrated test environment.
