I am trying to create something in IBM Bluemix. Stuck at the beginning. I installed the Extension lib x_15 from openNTF. In the DDE preferences I selected the UK Bluemix server. Entered my credentials and pressed the "test connection" button. A connection error pops-up. In that dialog there is only. com/ibm/icu/impl/ICUBinary

Any idea's? I can connect via the command line cloud foundry. So the username and password is correct. Also when I try to import the sample app. via Tools - IBM Bluemix Starter Code I get the same error.

Regards, Peter

Make sure the DDE BLUEMIX URL is api.eu-gb.bluemix.net because that is needed if you connect against the UK datacenter.

You need to install FP5IF1 that should solve the issue, as Per Henrik Lausten suggested. I got secondary confirmation of this from the Designer team so it should work. You can download it here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24037141 or perhaps here Download center link for FP5IF1

  • Do you have an English designer? Also it could be related to if you don't have english letters in your password or username. Because the text you suggest points to the java ICU Language lib – Fredrik Norling Dec 29 '15 at 07:52
  • Hi Fredrik, I only use English software. Is there a designer in another language? :-) The password are only letters and number and no special characters. I am running the designer in VM Ware Fusion,windows 7 on a macbook pro. But that can not be the problem I guess – Peter Strackx Dec 29 '15 at 07:55
  • And if you check the menu Help -> Support - View Log or view Trace and check for more information there about the problem. – Fredrik Norling Dec 29 '15 at 09:33

  • Try the fp5 install as suggested by Per Henrik and the Designer, ExtLib Bluemix team. I know it has been withdrawn but check my second link to the download center because there is an FP5IF1 that should work. – Fredrik Norling Dec 29 '15 at 13:49

  • Found it. Installed and now... the blue mix option in the preferences are gone. Try to get it back by installing the ext. lib again but that does not work :-( .. will try a clean install again from scratch... – Peter Strackx Dec 29 '15 at 14:48

    Clean install DDE, install FP5, install OpenNTF Ext.Lib xx_15 and it works! Thanks Fredrik and Per Henrik! – Peter Strackx Dec 29 '15 at 21:39
