Compatibility with previous versions
RAD v7.5 includes a compatibility option to facilitate sharing projects with Application Developer v7.0.x.
| Projects can be shared with Application Developer v7.0.x developers through a SCM (Rational Team Concert or CVS) or using project interchange zip files. |
|
| Metadata and project structure are not updated to the new Application Developer format. A .compatibility file is added to projects and is used to track the timestamps of resources. |
|
| Compatibility support can be removed when finished developing in a mixed environment. |
|
| The compatibility feature can be accessed by selecting Windows Æ Preferences Æ Backward Compatibility. |
