• Announcement: DOTS will soon be refactored to use com.ibm. package name

    By David Taieb 1 decade ago

    I wanted to give the community a heads up that I intend to refactor DOTS to use com.ibm package name and remove any reference to javaddin. This is because DOTS will be included in a future release of Domino Server, and the sooner we synchronize the streams, the better.

    I've prepared a FAQ list to answer the questions you may have:

    Q. Will any functionalities change?
    A. No, I am only going to replace the package name and not touching the code itself. 

    Q. What are the file names that will change in the binary distribution?
    A. The only plugins names that will change are org.openntf.javaddin which will be renamed com.ibm.dots, and org.openntf.javaddin.samples which will be renamed com.ibm.dots.samples. Also, the javaddin directory under the domino root directory will be renamed osgi-dots.

    Q. How do I fix my existing apps?
    A. It's quite simple actually, you will need to fix your plugin dependencies from org.openntf.javaddin to com.ibm.dots. You will also need to fix your imports statement in your java files. The eclipse IDE makes this operation very easy.

    I will also update the existing documentation.

    Please let me know if you have any question?

    Thanks
