Having updated Portal to use the latest 7.0.0.1 CF009 codebase, I also wanted to include the most recent version of WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer, now known as IBM Web Experience Factory.
Having sought and downloaded the product: -
IBM Web Experience Factory V7.0.1 Multiplatform Multilingual (CI1XDML)
as CI1XDML.zip and the corresponding fix pack ( WEF_7012_FIXPACK.zip ), I also needed a copy of Eclipse into which to install WEF.
For some strange reason, IBM includes Eclipse with WEF on Windows, but not on Unix :-(
Looking at the System Requirements document, I noticed that Eclipse 3.6.1 is required.
This led me to the Eclipse.org website, from where I downloaded Eclipse JEE Helios.
This gave me a file - eclipse-jee-helios-linux-gtk.tar.gz - which I installed by simply expanding it ( via tar xvzf ) into its own directory - /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortletFactory/eclipse.
Having done this, I was able to install and fix pack WEF, and create portlets to my heart's content.
