The document provides an overview of plugin development for Lotus Notes, Domino and Sametime applications using the Lotus Expeditor Toolkit. It discusses what plugins can do, how to install the Expeditor Toolkit plugin in Eclipse, the basic anatomy of a plugin, key extension points, and how to build user interfaces with SWT and jobs. The presentation also demonstrates how to create a sample plugin that reads data from a web service and displays it in a sidebar panel.

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

17. What I'm going to build (if time permits) Sidebar panel containing A list box

18. Three buttons at the bottom One button reads from a web service

19. One button reads contacts from names.nsf

20. One button creates a new email Reads recipient from list

21. Create document

22. Set subject

23. Add data from web service call to body Create a feature for the plugin

24. Create an update site with the feature
