Yesterday I was chatting with someone about DXL and remembered that some months ago I wrote a very experimental (ie half-baked, unfinished, pointless and buggy) plug-in which uses the Eclipse Modelling Framework to build a Java model from DXL and then presents the Java model as a tree/properties combo.

Rather than let the plug-in fester away in a damp corner of the Frunobulax Laboratory I thought I'd drag it, unwashed, into the daylight. So, for your viewing pleasure, may I present DXL Explorer.

More information can be found here.

DXL Peek is now DXL Explorer! New name! Same great taste! Same half-baked, unfinished, pointless and buggy plug-in!

It appears that there is already a tool called DXL Peek on OpenNTF.org.  So, to avoid confusion, I've renamed the plug-in to DXL Explorer.

I should also add that there is no affiliation between DXL Peek and DXL Explorer, they are completely independent tools which share no code and were written by different people.

Apologies for any confusion caused and toes trodden on.

One day I was walking down the main corridor of F Building at IBM North Harbour when a firm hand grabbed me from behind and pressed a damp chloroform cloth against my mouth. I struggled for a few moments and then passed out.

I awoke to find myself lying on the floor of a small, glass-walled comms room with a banging headache. "Nothing new there", I thought to myself. The only other things in the room were a pile of straw, a spinning wheel and a small yellow box.

From a speaker in the wall a voice demanded that I spin the straw into a Notes Server by morning or I'd be executed. What was I going to do? I didn't know one end of a TCP from the other! Just as I was about to give up hope an IBM Dwarf appeared in the room and offered to show me how to spin the straw into a server in exchange for my watch. The following day the dwarf returned and took my walkman. This happened for several days until I thought, "Sod this for a laugh", beat up the dwarf, stole his pointy hat, married the princess and lived happily ever after.

And that's how I got started with Notes...
