Overview
ICEfaces RAD Integration provides ICEfaces support for developers who
use
Rational Application Developer v7.5.x for ICEfaces
application
development. This release is built on RAD v7.5.3 but it should work for
all
v7.5.x.
This release includes
- ICEfaces RAD integration tools
- ICEfaces Runtime Library v1.8.2
- ICEfaces dependent libraries
- ICEfaces integration for RAD Page Designer (ICEfaces Library
Definition project)
This release includes the initial (beta) release of ICEfaces
integration for
the RAD Page Designer, via a new ICEfaces definition project to support
RAD
Page Designer. The ICEfaces definition project is required to be
imported into
your workspace if you wish to use the beta version of ICEfaces
integration for
RAD Page Designer (The use of the RAD Page Designer is optional).
Note: Some users may have previously installed ICEfaces Eclipse
Tooling into
RAD for ICEfaces support. Unfortunately, the ICEfaces Eclipse plugins
will
conflict with the ICEfaces RAD integration, and must be uninstalled
prior to
installing ICEfaces RAD Integration bundle.
Changes In This Release
- Included ICEfaces v1.8.2 runtime library
- updated beta version of ICEfaces integration for RAD Page
Designer for ICEfaces v1.8.2
Changes In v0.9.5 Release

Designer.

items from being displayed properly.
Changes In v0.9.1 Release
