Cause

There is a difference in the eGit and CDT versions used in IBM Rational Software Architect Designer and IBM Developer for z/OS products. Because of the version difference, the co-installation of these two products will fail when the user selects 'Eclipse Git Team provider' and/or ‘C/C++ Development Tools (CDT)’ options in IBM Rational Software Architect Designer.

Resolving The Problem

Ensure both 'Eclipse Git Team provider' and ‘C/C++ Development Tools (CDT)’ installation options are disabled in the IBM Rational Software Architect Designer installation.
Note: If IBM Developer for z/OS 14.2.1.0 is co-installed with IBM Rational Software Architect Designer 9.1.6.4, when product is launched a blank dialog box may be displayed initially. Use Alt+F4 to close the empty window.
