If you are not familiar with the plugin_customization.ini
file you can find in your <Notes Install>frameworkRPC directory
(if you have a stand alone Sametime client you will also have a plugin_customization.ini).
The plugin_customization.ini is an Eclipse
feature and is used to control behavior of various Eclipse based setting
for the Notes client as well as widget and plugins options.
Probably the most well known hack to
the plugin_customizaton.ini file is adding the line
com.ibm.notes.branding/enable.update.ui=true
This allows plugins to be installed in the
client via the File/Application/Install dialog, which is hidden until this
is added to the file and the client restarted.
Lately I have been doing some work with Sametime
and Connections integration in the Notes client, there are any variety
of entries that can be added to plugin_customization.ini to control behavior
of various components, for example these entries
control Business Card prioritization
in 8.5.2. Another example is
if you upgrade your embedded Sametime client to Sametime 8.5.1
it installs both the Sametime 8.5.1 chat client, and the the Sametime 8.5.1
Meeting plugin. If you wanted to install, but hide the meeting plugin
you could do so by adding com.ibm.rtc.meetings.shelf/hideUI=true to your
plugin_customization.ini
The problem is that I can find there is no
comprehensive list of supported entries for the plugin_customization.ini,
you can find them by product, though where do you look? Some paramters
are documented in the Notes
& Domino Infocenter, the Sametime
parameters are in the Sametime
Info Center, the Connections Parameters,
other are in the Lotus
Connections Info Center, and some are
simply undocumented and are discovered through Design Partner forums or
by opening PMR.
All I am asking for is a comprehensive list
of settings available for the plugin_customization.ini for all the Lotus
Products so we can easily see what options are available with hunting them
down from various sources.
My Review of the HTC Jetstream Android Tablet
Thu, Feb 9th 2012 9:12a Mitch Cohen The kind folks at HTC who I met at Lotusphere were kind enough to provide me with an HTC Jetstream Android tablet to kick the tires on. Those who follow me know that I am a huge fan of Android, prefer it over iOS, and have been in search of the right Android tablet for some time now with no luck. I am not going to bore you with the Jetstream’s specs you can read them yourself, but the hardware is nice. My main point of comparison is against my Droid X (running Gingerbread), and my orig [read] Keywords: lotusphere

NitroDesk Touchdown to Officially Support Lotus Traveler (Kindle Fire Owners Take Note)
Fri, Feb 3rd 2012 9:20a Mitch Cohen This is a rather interesting press release I spotted this morning. NitroDesk the makers of TouchDown an Activesync client for Android have announced their plans to officially support Lotus Notes Traveler. Now Touchdown has worked well with Traveler for a while, and there have been a number of new releases since I last played with it.
Here is the interesting part, I am not sure why someone using a supported Android Device would choose Touchdown over IBM’s Android App, but Touchdown supp [read] Keywords: ibm
