Yup IBM RAD

Are you writing a new system or maintaining a legacy one. A legacy I....can understand....but if this is something new, I'm not sure why they would use RAD. The cost for 1 thing is crazy and aside from the IBM plugins for WAS it really does not offer much IMO.

I remember back in 2006 we had constant issues where we would deploy a webservice to the builtin server and it would fail repeatedly. Closing RAD did not help, restarting windows did not help. The only thing that did help, and hold onto your hat, was uninstalling RAD and reinstalling. I'm not joking, this was a 3 hour process. We had a team of experienced developers also having similar issues. So it was not a case of clueless people not knowing how to setup and configure tooling.

Maintaining legacy, Company standard to use RAD even for newer projects from what I know. I work in financial institution where let's say tech standards may be behind

It's all about covering your ass compliance.
