Notes 8.5 AppDev woes

I’m trying to get Notes 8.5 to play nice with my Eclipse IDE but without any luck. This means I can’t compile anything for the Notes 8.5 beta client. I started with Eclipse 3.3 since Notes 8.5 is based on Expeditor 6.2 which is based on Eclipse 3.3 but without success as it wont install on that platform. No luck in my Eclipse 3.2 / Expeditor toolkit combo either as I either have the Notes client plug-ins avaiable (e.g. Sametime) or the Eclipse platform (org.eclipse.ui) available. Can’t seem to get both working! 😦

Will post in the beta forum now…

  2. It seems to be working for me with the 6.1.2 toolkit.  A few things to check:

    1. Make sure the target location in the Windows > Preferences > Client Service page is something like C:IBMLotusNotesframeworkrcpeclipse.  In 8.0.x the rcp directory was not used in this parameter

    2. On the Window > Preferences > Plug-in Development > Target Platform, select the "Group plug-ins by location" checkbox and make sure you have two directories included and everything in them is selected.

    3. On your client services launch configuration, change to the plug-ins tab and make sure all of the plug-in in the target platform are selected.

    That seems to make it work for me.  I do get a validation error on launch, but if you click OK the client will start.  The validation errors make me think you are not going to be able to launch Designer though.

  3. Can I install XPD toolkit 6.1.x under Eclipse 3.4? I’m wondering since I couldn’t install it under Eclipse 3.3 due to unsatisfied constraints for 3.2 libraries. If not I will need to create my own launch configuration which is such a hassle… 🙂

  5. How did you install the Expeditor 6.1.2 toolkit in Eclipse 3.4? I’m only getting an error message (in Windows):
