Websphere MQ: getting my feet wet into it

First install Eclipse
http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.2-200902111700/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-3.4.2-win32.zip

Download and install it - do the custom installation without MQ Explorer which requires also Websphere Eclipse installation.

One restarted, you find an icon in the bottom right "Webpshere MQ Running".
Right click to open the Alert monitor

For OSB, you should download com.ibm.mq.jar for 7.0.1 :
