Message Broker – Design Time

Message Broker Toolkit is a IDE for WebSphere Message Broker. It available for Windows and Linux OSs.
Each developer installs own instance of Toolkit.
The main project  types (like JavaProject, WebProject, EJBProject in eclipse) for WMB are:

• Message Flow Project are the projects where you define logic of processing messages in your application (message flow)
• Message Set Project are the projects where you define format of messages in your application.

All these artifacts compile into “.bar” files (liken “.ear” in jee) and may be installed (deployed) on runtime.
Through Toolkit you may connect to runtimes and deploy “bar”-files from IDE. Also for deploying bar-files you may use command console (mqsideploy command) and message broker explorer gui.
