Unfortunately, I had to install WebSphere Eclipse (a.k.a. WSAD) again, today.
After going through a bizarre set of web pages on the IBM site you finally get to a download area. The choices are silly, but you end up having to download a crazy number of files.
E.g. via the Download Director you end up with IBMWSAppDev-5.0.0-Part1.exe to Part12 ("only" 1 to 9 are required ;)).
Then you have to manually extract at least 1 through 9, and finally you can run setup.exe.
I wonder what makes people think that this is a good idea instead of "Download this and run it". IBM people?
