1.0 Introduction

This component enables external applications to access tool integrator APIs from outside the IDE.

2.0 Prerequisites

You must have VisualAge for Java, Version 3.5 installed.

3.0 Limitations and known problems

3.1 ExportCodeSpec.setSubdirectories(boolean)

The behavior of the VisualAge for Java Export SmartGuide has changed. You cannot use it to export a file without generating the subdirectories of the package in which the file is declared. The Tools Integrator API, however, still provides the ability to export files without creating the subdirectories. You should consider this API depreciated.

4.0 Hints and Tips

4.1 ToolEnv.connectToWorkspace() returns null

If the code ToolEnv.connectToWorkspace() returns null, check if the classpath of the application is pointing to both IBM IDE Utility class libraries and IBM IDE Utility local implementation under IDE/project_resources on the file system.
