1. I've got RAD 6 installed. Will IBM SWT Data Binding Toolkit for Rational Application Developer work upon my machine?
2. Now that I've got everything set up and configured, how do I begin binding data using this toolkit?
3. I don't see the SDO Data Sources drawer on the palette when I open the Java Visual Editor.

Yes, it will, as long as you have updated your RAD 6 to Version 6.0.0.1.

2. Now that I've got everything set up and configured, how do I begin binding data using this toolkit?

Open the visual Java file, which contains some SWT components in the Java Visual Editor; then select a table, text field, or button on the shell or composite. Upon doing so, a Bind... tab will appear; selecting this will launch the Data Binding wizard for that component. This wizard can also be launched from the context menu, selecting Binding Properties.... You can also use the toolkit without using the wizard by configuring the data sources, objects, and binders manually. Do this by selecting the appropriate items from the SWT Binders drawer upon the palette and dropping these items to the freeform. These items can then be configured manually through the Property Sheet.

3. I don't see the SDO Data Sources drawer on the palette when I open the Java Visual Editor.

The SDO Data Sources drawer will appear once the Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF) Service Data Objects (SDO) library has been added to the Java build path in your Java project.

Also, when you choose to create a new Data Source Data Object to a JDBC source type and you select create a new data source, a dialog box will appear, prompting the reloading of the Java Visual Editor. Once this reloading has been completed, the SDO Data Sources drawer will be available to you on the palette.
