Start by downloading and extrating Eclipse 3.2 from Eclipse.org. The entire Callisto install is 140MB.

As the post mentions it shows you in 2 minutes and 35 seconds how to install the entire 140 MB Callisto package. I downloaded Eclipse 3.2 yesterday and installed Callisto using the Callisto Discovery Site and it worked like a charm. Nice. I really like the XML editors that are part of the Callisto distribution – no more paying for XML editing. I’m missing a XSLT editor though… 🙁
PMR at Lotus Support
Just got a call from Lotus Support confirming that the issue mentioned previously with mail settings not being correctly applied is indeed a bug in the software. In short the bug implies that a mail setting that requires an agent to be enabled (e.g. the “Allow Notes to update To Do status and dates for incomplete entries” setting on the calendar profile) will not be correctly applied to user mail databases.
For the time being you can use the agent mentioned previously to work around the problem.
Happy 4 July (and don’t let them tell you TV can’t teach you anything!)
The President in the hit TV show The West Wing is called Josiah Bartlet and is a democrat of New Hamsphire. Did you know that that’s the same name as the first person of the New Hampshire delegation who signed the Declaration of Independence? Funny little twist.
Happy 4 July!
Turning 30!
Oh no! The big three-zero is nearing – I’m turning 30 the day after tomorrow (Sunday). I guess I have to find a more mature-looking picture for the picture on the right… 🙂
Feature (F5 to lock the screen) to be removed in Hannover?
Go make your voice heard over on Mary Beth Ravens Hannover developers blog on the issue of “F5 to lock Notes”. I for one is all for removing the feature if a real inactivity timer is added for the embedded Sametime client since I much prefer OS locking…
F5 to lock the screen– just how many use it, and how important is it?
Inflated text
Chris previously blogged about the issue (though I think he was experiencing that the text got smaller and smaller) but I’m still having the issue after playing around with “International MIME Settings”. Bummer.
Sametime 7.5 mentioned again on “Eclipse in the News”
“IBM has rewritten Sametime to run on the Eclipse Rich Client framework, open-source software for running desktop components. This means that the instant-messaging application can host Eclipse-compatible programs, Bisconti noted.”

Funky Notes/Domino JVM error (java.lang.IllegalAccessError)
An interesting issue with the Domino JVM was brougt to my attention today via a comment from an anonymous (Paul M. Westwood?) poster today. As you can see from my reply to the comment I was able to reproduce the issue and I recommend that the commenter report the issue to Lotus Support.
The issue is of interest to me due to the work I have been doing on developing a new AgentBase class for use from Eclipse…
String.intern()
As mentioned in my post “Java in Notes/Domino Explained: Testing for equality” I mentioned the String.intern() method. Since this is a very misunderstood and often overlooked method I thought I would point to an article discussing it in greater detail.
