I have yet to find a reason to use eclipse when developing Java Agents in Lotus Notes.I think the only reason to use eclipse is if you are building a Java application that might need to touch Lotus Notes for some parts of the app but not all.

I maybe wrong and if someone can tell me why you would want to use eclipse when developing a Lotus Notes Java Agent, Please do tell…

in my new job, All java Agents are built with external tools (Eclipse)

And the code is in shared folder in domino machine.

I think this is not a good idea,

But I can not find good reason to contradict this practice.

Somebody correct me, if I’m wrong, but to the best of my knowledge, the “Imported Java” option really means, that the class files are physically imported into the nsf file.

Of course, these classes could still make use of packages, that are not imported, but reside on the classpath. I can’t really think of a performance benefit for one or the other approach. The embedded Eclipse compiler might compile object code different from what is compiled through Designer, but I don’t think that this will have a big influence (and if so, then not necessarily to the disadvantage of Eclipse).

But - admittedly - I have nothing to back up this assumption.
