I use a couple of Teamstudio products at work, my favorite is Configurator.  CIAO is in second because it is not a life saver like Configurator. I would like to see some more information in CIAO! when I am checking design elements in and out.  There is some good information that is in Domino Designer that could be brought forward to CIAO!, like ‘last modified by’ and ‘last modified’.  Maybe even more important is the Check out Comment.   Craig , do you think any of this is possible?



One other feature would be nice see is the current version number that can be displayed on the design tab, like Chris Doig ‘s Set Template Version application.  CIAO! should have an option to set the ‘$TemplateBuild’ shared field just like Chis does.   What would be really cool if CIAO! would not only set the field but read from it also…

Every Domino developer Java or LotusScript should take a look at what Keith Smillie and Wes Gilster at Domiclipse.com are doing.  Wes and Keith are building on the eclipse tool to make our jobs as Domino developers easier.

Keith is focusing on integrating Java with Domino,  he just released an alpha version .  The documentation was easy to follow and there was even a nice flash demo .  I did receive an ‘java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no nlsxbe in java.library.path’ while attempting to set the Domino directory, a quick fix of including your Domino directory in your machines path not Java’s class path.  

Wes has been working on a very similar project but integrating LotusScript with eclipse.  The Teamstudio ScriptBrowser has made my life easier, but having the type ahead ability of eclipse will be priceless.  So pass the word about Domicipse LS.
