Plug in development

Hello everybody, because of ongoing problems with my old application and the toolbar setup in 8.5.1, I am now starting to throw the old stuff out and do something new - develop this stuff as a plugin for the Notes client.

I was trying to follow along this article

but already at the beginning there are problems.

As I read from the comment below, the description for plugin development should be updated, as Notes 8 and 8.5 differ in some points.

Okay, I’m to ignorant to find it out by myself, maybe someone can help me :

The folder \IBM\Lotus\notes\framework\eclipse does not exist in 8.5.1, whichg one am I to use instead ?

The jar file com.ibm.rcp.j2se.win32. does not exist, which one am I to use ?

Maybe somewhere is a newer article about plugin development for 8.5 toolbars which I just don’t find ?

Thanks in advance !

Subject: Thank you !

Hello, thank you, this already helped a lot !The next thing is

  1. “Under Program to Run, select Run a product, and then select com.ibm.notes.branding.notes.”

There was no such package in the list, the only IBM related one is

com.ibm.rcp.esupport.client.isaproduct, so I selected this, was this okay ?

Best regards, Nicole Ziegenhagen

Subject: Directory structure has changed

Hi Nicky,

The directory structure has changed slightly.

\IBM\Lotus\notes\framework\eclipse is now \IBM\Lotus\notes\framework\rcp\eclipse.

And the JRE is found under

\IBM\Lotus\notes\jvm

Hope this helps.
