SWT visual designer
Up to now I have been doing all my Notes 8.5 sidebar UI development manually and coding the UI by hand which is and has been fine. Now getting a WYSIWYG editor is becoming increasingly important both for quick development, demos and for education situations. I went searching for one and found SWT Designer from Instantiations. The editor looks very, very nice (take a look at the demos) and being priced at 239 USD also very competitive from a price standpoint.
My search continues for alternatives but this looks very attractive.
Lotusphere 2009: Seriously - last post about my demos!!!
My brain must have been taken out with the fever as I have only uploaded compressed versions of the update site and not the actual Eclipse projects. I have now uploaded importable Eclipse projects and you can download them from the session page.
Notes 8.5/Eclipse variables
After upgrading to Notes 8.5 GOLD I had to reconfigure my Eclipse IDE for Notes 8.5 as previously described (Configure Eclipse 3.4 for Notes 8.5). For this I needed the new install_id and rcp.base_version and thought I would share.
install_id=1233734589660 rcp.base_version=6.2.0.200811140851 rcp.home=<Notes binary diretory>\framework
