With Lotusphere 2009 and my session done I upgraded to Notes 8.5 yesterday from the beta version I have been using so far. Upgrade was uneventful and my Notes client is working fine today and my demos today went just fine. Only issue I have is launching Notes from Eclipse. When upgrading from previous beta versions I just had to update the JVM config, the install_id and the rcp_version in my Eclipse launch configuration but after upgrading to Notes 8.5 GOLD I’m getting strange JAAS errors (Eclipse not being able to locate the NOTES LoginContext configuration). I will have to look into this tomorrow when I’m in the office or simply change my Eclipse configuraion to use the Lotus Expeditor toolkit 6.2 instead of my own configuration.

Using the Expeditor toolkit made it quiet easy to get it running, I had to reconfigure some plugin settings to get it work though if I remember correctly. Don’t know what exactly I had to change, but if I could find it out, you should be able to solve it aswell 😉
Well today it worked after rebooting for some other reason so I’m back to being happy… 🙂
