By default, you can only set it to compile up to Java 6. There may be a way to install Java 7. You'd need to have that on the server too. I haven't found a way to do it.

Hi,

do you know if Java SE 7 is supported by 9.0?

Thanks

Maybe not a hack, more like a kludge.

I've been trying to use Java instead of LotusScript to write agents for a few months now. It is such a better language and it has tons of great libraries for stuff like working with PDFs and Excel files. Getting experience in Java translates better when switching to different technologies in the future, while LotusScript looks like a dead end outside of Domino (it even seems like a dead end within Domino since they haven't been extending it and adding any new features). Have you tried the hack yet that allows you to use the Eclipse debugger within Designer?

Is Java like C# coding or is C# more like Java coding?

Anyhow, it's great when they share (copy) ideas from each others :)
