Sametime Connect 7.5: A New Beginning

Sametime Connect 7.5 is the first product based on new real-timecollaboration (RTC) client components from IBM

Presence and instant messaging

Telephony and video

Organizational collaboration and social networking Multiple communities

Multiple protocols

Highly extensible via Eclipse plug-in framework

Sametime Connect 7.5 is based on the Lotus Expeditor (formerlyWebSphere Everyplace Deployment) platform

Notes 8 (Hannover) is also based on Lotus Expeditor, and includes

the same RTC client components used in Sametime Connect Some features disabled in Notes 8 without a Sametime client license

Programming Model Overview

Sametime Connect 7.5 is composed of Eclipse plug-ins

Eclipse is a widely-used open source development platform

Plug-ins are the base functional unit (declarations + code)

Plug-ins define extension points that other plug-ins extend (for example, bycontributing menu items or services)

Sametime Connect plug-in extension points are described in the Sametime SDK

Create your own plug-ins that leverage the Sametime Connectextension points

Your plug-ins can access any services exposed by Sametime Connect and theunderlying platforms (Sametime Java Toolkit API, Eclipse, J9 JCL Desktop)

Your plug-ins register listeners for events that they wish to handle

Your plug-ins can define extension points for other plug-ins to use Your plug-ins can work in Notes 8, if designed to do so

Programming Model Overview (continued)

The Lotus Expeditor Toolkit makes it easier to develop SametimeConnect plug-ins and other client applications

Integrates with Eclipse-based IDEs

Includes Sametime profile for developing Sametime Connect plug-ins Simplifies IDE configuration

Part of Lotus Expeditor 6.1 release (November 2006)

Extension Points and Services

User interface extension points

Extend, customize, and integrate with the Sametime Connect user interface

Service APIs

Access Sametime Connect services from Sametime Connect plug-ins or third-party plug-ins

Third-party plug-ins can expose new service APIs

Service Provider Interfaces (SPIs)

Implemented by IBM to provide Sametime Connect services

Implemented by third-party plug-ins to replace existing services or add newones

Client Telephony Service Provider Interface

Provides voice chat and click-to-call services to Sametime Connect

IBM provides implementations of these services

Telephony service providers can replace the IBM implementations

IBM's click-to-call client service integrates with Sametime serverTelephony Conferencing Service Provider Interface (TCSPI)

Requires third-party TCSPI implementation IBM doesnt provide one

No client changes needed to use different TCSPI implementations TCSPI implementations provide click-to-call service for Sametime web

conferencing and Notes

Deploying third-party plug-ins

Third-party plug-ins can be deployed from server orinstalled by end users

Administrators install plug-ins on Eclipse update site server

Server-managed deployment pushes plug-ins to client

End users can manually install plug-ins from server or localupdate site, using Eclipse Update Manager UI

Both methods can be used together

Administrator can disable end-user installControlled via server attribute

Disables Update Manager UI

Developers can still launch their plug-ins from the Eclipse IDE
