LO89113: ECLIPSE PLUGIN: NOTES UI JAVA GETTEXT IS FAILING WITH NOTES 901 64 BIT RUNNING ON MAC

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is developing Notes Plugins on Windows which work
  perfectly on the Mac Lotus Notes 32bit client, but fail with
  the new 64 bit Notes client.
  All the issues occur during operations involving the Notes UI
  Java classes, particularly with brand new (unsaved) documents
  and field values.
  For instance..  if a new appointment calendar entry is
  created..and the Location field is populated with "hello"..
  then the following code *should* produce the value of "hello"
  for the variable LStr.  On Windows, and with Mac Notes 32bit, it
  does but with the Notes 64 bit on Mac, it returns "".
  NotesUIWorkspace nuiws = new NotesUIWorkspace();
  NotesUIDocument nuidoc = nuiws.getUIDocument(part);
  NotesUIField Lfield = nuidoc.getField("Location");
  String LStr = Lfield.getText();
  Environment
  Mac OSX 10.11 El Capitan, with
  64 bit Eclipse, and Java 1.8, and with the IBM Notes 9.0.1 64
  bit
  

Local fix

• None. The issue is not occurring with Windows or Notes 32 bit
  on Mac.
