Understand the newly designed Eclipse Configuration Editor, and review improvements for version 7.1.
IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator developers fashion solutions that emerge from the integrated development environment (IDE) of the Configuration Editor. Solutions designed using the Directory Integrator's Configuration Editor produce runtime configurations that can be run by the IBM TDI Server. The Configuration Editor uses Eclipse projects as the repository for a single runtime configuration that is built from the various files in the project.
The Configuration Editor for IBM TDI version 7.1 is an Eclipse plug-in. Pre-v7.0 releases of the IBM TDI were standalone Java applications based on the Swing framework.
The Eclipse Configuration editor reorganizes how the Configuration Editor manages resources within a project.
The following section shows highlights of the more important changes implemented in the IBM TDI Configuration Editor version 7.1.
