If you doing the TGMC project then you have to use IBM tools only
like
- Rational Software Architect For Unified modeling (UML ) and SRS
- DB2 for Database
- Rational Application Developer or Eclipse (only open source not Commercial)
- WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Community addition For Deployment
But When you are Installing or using The Rational Application Developer (RAD) in some cases it didn't get installed so What you can do for that ?
My Advice is that you can for Eclipse it is available free
but there are few things where you have to compromise i just list few of them
- No Drag N Drop : Eclipse did't provide pallete view
- You have to use WebSphere Community Edition server only
these two are major compromises but eclipse works pretty well so you can go for it if you face any problem with RAD in installation .
So From Where you can download these Tools ?
This is the most Common Questions Regarding the TGMC
So i just give a brief on that
IBM will provide their toolkit Disks but it will take time so better download them by own
1st thing 1st so 1st in the list is
- RSA(Rational Software Architect ) : you can download the trial version form the website they will give atleast 1 month which is enough for creating your SRS
- DB2 : its community edition is free and you can download it from ibm website
- RAD/Eclipse : you have to download the trial version of RAD or you can use Eclipse which is free of charge
- Server : for deployment and testing you need a server so you can go for WebSphere Community addition because its free and works pretty well
