Welcome to the brand new Domiclipse website! I'd like to thank Bill Buchan for providing space and bandwidth on his server for hosting this site.

I have taken the opportunity to upgrade the design of the website so that it now uses the Domino Blogsphere template. Unfortunately this means that most of the old url's and links have changed. I will be moving the old content over to it's new home over the next few days.

The Domiclipse Update Site has also moved. The new address is http://www.domiclipse.com/domiclipse/update.nsf. In addition to having a new url it's also based on the new Notes 8 Eclipse Update Site template rather than just being a bunch of files in a folder.

The Composite Application Component Library is a collection of sample components provided by IBM. The library can be found on the OpenNTF.org site here.

This article will show you how to import the source code for the components into Eclipse so you can see exactly how they work.
There are two steps. Firstly we install the components into the Notes 8 client. Then the source code is imported into Eclipse.

Installing the components in Notes 8
  • Download the latest version of ComponentLibrary.zip from OpenNTF.org here.
  • Extract ComponentLibrary.nsf The password is in the readme.
  • The ComponentLibrary.nsf database is an Eclipse Update Site database which is based on the Eclipse Update Site (8) template (updatesite.ntf) that comes as part of Notes 8.
  • Make a replica in your local data directory.
  • In Notes 8 select File -> Application -> Install. If you can't see the Install menu option follow these instructions.
  • Select the Search for new features to install option and click Next >.
  • Create a new Remote Update Site that points to nrpc:/__852573710072208D/site.xml
