Question: HATS Plugin Download 

Hi

I have RDZ 9.0 and want to install the HATS plugin.

I've downloaded from this link:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/ws/whats/

HATS 9.0.0.0 but it won't install because RDZ itself is not enough and it sais I need one of the following:

IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software

IBM Rational Software Architect for WebSphere Software

IBM Rational Developer for i for SOA Construction

IBM Rational Business Developer

IBM Integration Developer

which I don't have.

Where can I download the HATS version that is compatible with RDZ 9.0 and doesn't need anything else?
