This document provides an introduction and agenda for a seminar on plugin development for Lotus Notes, Domino and Sametime. It discusses what plugins are, why develop them, and provides an overview of the key Eclipse extension points and APIs that can be used to build plugins that extend the functionality of Lotus applications. The agenda includes topics like the Eclipse and Lotus Expeditor Toolkit, plugin basics, building UIs with SWT and JFace, threading with Jobs, logging, debugging and deployment.

9. What I do! Well plugins of course... But ”plugins” are a many-headed beast! It's not just ”stuff” for the Notes sidebar

10. It's about extending the UI in Notes, Sametime and Symphony

11. It's about delivering a UI capable of doing stuff you cannot do in ”traditional” Notes

12. It's about developing custom components for the XPages Extensibility Library

13. It's about DOTS (previously JAVADDIN) and OSGi on the Lotus Domino Server

14. Why I do it! Plugin development is often about integration You often build extensions to existing applications to add functionality

15. Eclipse and therefore Expeditor, Notes, Symphony, and Sametime, are built to allow for extensibility Plugin development has several advantages Java Mature
