Posted on by

IBM Domino and IBM Notes/Domino Designer 9.0.1 Feature Pack 10 has been released today and is available for download on IBM Fix Central. This is a major update to the platform.

The most important updates for developers include:

  • Upgrade from Java 1.6 to Java 1.8 for both Domino Designer and the server
  • The Domino Designer Eclipse platform is now running version 4.6.2 (a major upgrade from Eclipse 3.4.2)
  • OSGi is upgraded

More details of changes are available at developerWorks. Details of all fixes will be available later in the usual Fix List database.

Rational Team Concert 1.0 is now available

Posted on by

Rational Team Concert 1.0 is now available on jazz.net. You can download a free version with a server and 3 client licenses included. Team concert “provides a development environment that allows developers to collaborate together using integrated Source Control, Work Items, Build, Dashboards, Reports, and Process support. ”

I am especially interested in the support for agile projects via the iteration planning and work item management feature combined with the collaboration support – and all this in the same package.

I do architect related work for a J2EE project at the moment where agile planning takes place in ScrumWorks, source control is via CVS, code development is via Rational Software Architect, overall project planning is via Rational Portfolio Manager, and remote collaboration is done via Lotus Sametime. From that perspective Rational Team Concert looks very interesting!

Develop iPhone web applications

An interesting article has just been published on developerWorks: “Develop iPhone Web applications with Eclipse“. The article is a tutorial on how to create iPhone web sites using Eclipse, Aptana’s iPhone Development plug-in, and the iUi framework.

It could be fun to try to use these ideas on a Lotus Domino demo web application. Anyone up for the challenge?

Jazz.net is now open to everyone. From the site: “Jazz is an IBM Rational project to build a scalable, extensible team collaboration platform for integrating work across the phases of the development lifecycle“.

According to Andy Patrizio from internetnews.com Jazz can be compared to SourceForge and Subversion.

The Jazz team blog has also been opened up for the public.

“Domiclipse Java is a plugin for Eclipse which allows you to replicate your Java agents and script libraries to the Eclipse environment and then replicate changes back to Domino.”

Aptana: The Web IDE

Posted on by

Have a look at Aptana: The Web IDE. Aptana is a robust, JavaScript-focused IDE for building dynamic web applications. Highlights include the following features:

  • Code Assist on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS languages, including your own JavaScript functions
  • Outliner that gives a snapshot view of your JavaScript, HTML, and CSS code structure
  • Error and warning notification for your code
  • Support for Aptana UI customization and extensions
  • Cross-platform support
  • Free and open source

Please notice that the Aptana code assist feature has support for different popular AJAX Javascript libraries such as Dojo and Prototype.

The alpha version was released in March 2006 and Aptana is now in beta with the current version being 0.31. You can either download Aptana as a stand alone client or as a plugin for Eclipse.

I’ve tried the stand alone client and I really like the code assist and the integrated JavaScript and DOM documentation.

Using Eclipse for C/C++ software development

Posted on by

Just wanted to remind you that you can use Eclipse and the Rational design and construction products for your C/C++ software development projects as well as for your Java projects.

There is an article on developerWorks called “C/C++ development with the Eclipse Platform” that provides an overview of how to use the Eclipse Platform in your C/C++ development projects. The article also mentions how to install and run the CDT plugin which is the C/C++ Integrated Development Environment for the Eclipse Platform – and necessary if you want to use Eclipse for C/C++.
