Start a new Java-agent and name it something



Click "OK". Domino Designer will create some skeleton code for you, and you see that next;

Ensure that the "Basics" section of the agent has a Runtime Target set to "None", as shown below;

System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.home"));

... into the code as shown below;


Press CTRL + S to save, and exit the window. Exit the agent and confirm that you want to save everything.

Your agent is now ready. In order to see the result of the System.out.println-call in the code, you need to bring up the so-called Java Console dialog box in IBM Notes.

From the Tool-menu in either the Notes client or in the Domino Designer, select "Show Java Debug Console"


Next you should see a dialog box similar to the following;


This dialog box will contain the output from all java agents hereafter.

Note - For some reason this dialog box won't show up on my computer from time to time. In order to show it, I restart the Notes client, and open the Java Console as one of the first things after restart. Just leave it open when you open the database with the Java-agent inside.

Run the java agent, and see the Notes reveal the whereabouts of the Domino Designer JVM :-)



In my case it is "C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Notes\jvm".
