I'm not the only one who doesn't like Windows, which is a problem when you depend on Domino Designer. Luckily there is Java and DominoJNX. A decade ago I would use Eclipse on an Intel Mac (and Java8). Much has changed. Java is now 21, the Mac is based on Arm and my primary IDE is VSCode. Here is my setup.

x86 vs. arm

To run a Java app against the Notes 14.5 client there are several steps required:

• An installed and running Notes 14.5 client (duh)
• MacOS Rosetta installed
• a 64Bit x86 JDK (won't work with an ARM JDK)
• A launch.json file in .vscode of your project
