The same process still works though and the important part is that if you want to run a WebSphere server from Eclipse (one of the main reasons to perform this setup) the Eclipse instance has to point to the IBM JVM. UPDATE: Currently the versions of the Eclipse and WebSphere downloads are different than those detailed here.

UPDATE: If you are also interested in Spring tools for WebSphere development you might check out a related blog post – How about a FREE set of WebSphere and Spring Eclipse Development Tools? The best place to find these classes is in the WebSphere 8.0 Programming category. UPDATE: We’ve posted some Java EE 6 development courses that use WebSphere and Eclipse to highlight this capability.
