Sometimes however this doesn't work and you'll have to resort to a manual uninstall. This blog post outlines the way to perform a manual uninstall.

Actually showing the password prompt when developing Java for Notes

If you're developing console applications in Java that access Notes resources and you're testing them in Eclipse you have experienced the following. You run your application to test it from Eclipse. It accesses a Notes resource and you haven't granted 3rd party applications access in the Security settings so it causes Notes to ask you for the password - only the Console view doesn't accept input... Bummer! :-(

New pet project: LiveTextr
Tue, Oct 20th 2009 5:29p Mikkel Heisterberg Part of my job, interest and efforts goes towards illustrating just how extensible the Notes 8 platform is. Part of this is playing around with the platform and trying to do stuff to illustrate how the platform may be extended. One of the very cool ways to extend Notes 8 is using widgets and LiveText but debugging it can be a hazzle due to the way widgets are created and installed into the platform. The goal of my latest pet project was to alleviate some of these pains and make it easier to work [read] Keywords: document

Stumbled upon interesting URLs from the Notes 8 client
Fri, Oct 16th 2009 2:36a Mikkel Heisterberg So I was trying some stuff in Notes 8.5.1 yesterday and stumbled upon the following two URLs which I found quite interesting:
notes:///clientbookmark?openworkspace
notes:///clientbookmark?openreplication
These are of course probably 100.000% unsupported but in my Notes 8.5.1 client they do exactly what they say. The first open the workspace and the latter the replicator. That's cool! They probably also work all the way back to Notes 8.

One of the really nice things about this new release is how Lotus strive to minimize the disk footprint of the install package.

Using a non self-signed certificate with Lotus Connections
Fri, Aug 28th 2009 4:29a Mikkel Heisterberg When you deploy Lotus Connections you find out that the login has to be done using SSL and hence you need a SSL certificate. When Lotus Connections is installed a self-signed certificate is generated but you'll probably want to use a "real" certificate whether this be one signed by a public CA or one signed by a corporate CA. Doing this is quite simple if you only swap out the IBM HTTP Server certificate as this only requires change to httpd.conf and using the ikeyman application.

A word about week numbers
Sun, Jul 26th 2009 5:49a Mikkel Heisterberg Got a call from a customer the other day who could not understand that the week numbers that showed up in his Notes 8.x calendar was different from the ones on this printed wall calendar. The reason for this is that by default Notes 8 uses the operating system default for calculating week numbers. Here in Denmark we use the ISO 8601 standard which is a little bit different. It is my understanding that previous releases of Notes automatically used the ISO standard. I could be wrong though.
