Eclipse vs. IBM WebSpehere Application Devleoper Studio

Hi there. I have a few newbie questions. My employer has chosen to use IBM
WebSphere Application Server to deploy apps on. As one of my first steps in
learning Java/J2EE I need to choose and IDE. Some of the questions I can't
figure out are:
Since WSAD (WebSphere Application Developer Studio) is very expensive but based off Eclipse, is it true to say that Eclipse could suffice as an IDE
when applications will be deployed on WebSphere Application Server? Would a plugin such as MyEclipse Workbench make developing with Eclipse and deploying to WebSphere easier? Say an application was developed in WSAD, could that application be opened in Eclipse, edited and redeployed to WebSpehere Applciaton Server and
vice-versa? What's your opionion? Save the thousands or does WSAD make that much of a

diference?

Thanks :-)

Eclipse is the IDE portion of Websphere. Plugins for Eclipse should
work on Websphere. The main differences are ibm proprietary plugins
that come with Websphere.

Any development done in websphere that uses ibm jar files is not easily
developed on eclipse. You would need to locate those classes and make
them available in eclipse. Deployment is a separate issue.

MyEclipse is a fine J2EE plugin in my opinion. I find it much easier to
work with than WSAD and MyEclipse has embedded support for most servers.
