After not being able to find documentation on using AppleScript to access notes (there’s a single file of examples, but no dictionary and the AppleScript support seems to have all sorts of inconsistencies and errors), I decided I’d give trying to write a utility in Java. However, I’m stymied by some DLL issue (yes, there’s no such thing in OS X, and it ought not matter in Java anyway, yet that’s the error I get). Here’s my code:
package com.biib.ri.orgchart;
import lotus.domino.*;
public class NotesExport extends NotesThread {
public static void main(String[] args) {
NotesExport exportThread = new NotesExport();
exportThread.start();
}
public void runNotes() {
try {
Session notesSession = NotesFactory.createSession();
String platform = notesSession.getPlatform();
System.out.println("It worked!\nPlatform = " + platform);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
And here’s the stack trace I get when I run it:
NotesException: Could not load dll for system name Mac OS X

Exception in thread “Thread-0” java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: NnotesInitThread

… I’ve added the Notes client directory to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in case the jar needed something in there (lots of old-style PowerPC PEF executable/libraries there), but that had no effect.
Any ideas?
