I want to start plugin development for IBM SameTime softphone on Mac. But I have problems with setting up the development environment. I tried to do this step by step according to the manual "Setting up the Development Environment" from the IBM site, but I can't install the necessary Expeditor toolkit and IBM Lotus Sametime Connect SDK on Mac. I used the latest version of Eclipse IDE Neon.

Does anybody have experience on plugin development for SameTime on Mac? Please, help me to setup development environment.

I will try specify my problem:

  1. Download and install Eclipse IDE Neon on Mac
  2. Download Expeditor toolkit file and unzip it in any folder
  3. Start Eclipse
  4. Go Help->Install new software
  5. Click Add->Local and select folder with Expeditor toolkit
  6. Click Ok and select all packages.
  7. Click Next
  8. You will see next error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Lotus Expeditor Toolkit 6.2.2.20100816-1002 (com.ibm.pvc.tools.composite-feature.feature.group 6.2.2.20100816-1002) Missing requirement: Lotus Expeditor Toolkit 6.2.2.20100816-1002 (com.ibm.pvc.tools.composite-feature.feature.group 6.2.2.20100816-1002) requires 'org.eclipse.equinox.common [3.4.0,3.5.0)' but it could not be found

Please, look at the screenshot below: enter image description here

The key part of the error is "requires 'org.eclipse.equinox.common [3.4.0,3.5.0)'".

This is telling you that the org.eclipse.equinox.common plugin is required with a version of at least 3.4.0 and less that 3.5.0.

Only Eclipse 3.4 has a version of the plugin which meets these requirements. It seems that the software you are trying to install is very old.
