Using different editor and compiling agents

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I am newbie in Domino Designer and trying to write Java agents. I find Domino Designer’s editor not so handy and would like to use something else. I searched and found out that I could use Eclipse.

This was very good news and I managed setup Eclipse for the Designer and managed to trouble shoot in Eclipse.

But the problem is that every time I want to execute my Java agent I have to copy the code from Eclipse and paste it again in Domino Designer, then save it and run the agent.

Is there a way to save/compile and run the agent in Eclipse??? I am quite tired of copy-pasting my codes from/to Eclipse.

Thank you

Subject: I suppose you could write a plugin to do it…

By exporting the agent to DXL, then when you save from the Eclipse editor, creating DXL for your output.

Or you could wait for version 8.5.1, which uses the Eclipse-based editor for Java agents.
