[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Installation tool recommended

["Christophe Elek [IBM Support]" <celek@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Miriam,
We will provide the 'tools' to package your install JAR files. The rest of the
install will be done by the update manager, not the install. The other thing
is that we nned to be abel to install on Windows AND Linux.
I will contact the developer so he can put more info on the newsgroup, but I
would suggest you look athte doc file provided with the drop.
