Developing Eclipse plug-ins for Lotus Notes and Domino -- 7 tips in 7 minutes

Lotus Sametime 7.5, IBM Workplace and IBM WebSphere were all built using the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE); and the next version of Lotus Notes, codenamed "Hannover," will be built on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP).

But you don't have to wait until Hannover to start taking advantage of Eclipse's open-source extensibility. If you're running Notes/Domino 7, you can create a Notes/Domino plug-in with Eclipse now.

Before you get started though, you should learn about the basic programming concepts involved in developing an Eclipse plug in.

This collection of seven tips from Eclipse: Building Commercial Quality Plug-ins, by Eric Clayberg and Dan Rubel, will teach you the fundamentals you need to understand to successfully develop an Eclipse plug-in in for any environment.
