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.
