Openntf Domino API Plugins missing from one Notes Template

I have one Notes Template ntf in which the Openntf Domino API plugins do not appear in 'Plug-in Dependencies' library, eg. org.openntf.domino.xsp etc. They are installed on both the server and the local machine, as we use XPiNC. They appear in any a new application created from the template and they appear in other templates and other nsfs. The plugin xml references them but they are still not in there. 

 <import optional="true" plugin="org.openntf.domino.xsp"/>

The Notes template is on a server. How do I get them in there or solve the problem, I have tried various import methods to no avail, this area is not a strong point for me.

Thanks for any help.

If you're getting an error that you cannot import a class in Domino Designer, there are two places to look.

  1. The library needs "ticking" on the Xsp Properties. This tells the application that it needs that particular plugin at runtime. If it's missing on the server, you'll get an error.
  2. The library needs installing for every Domino Designer that's going to be used to work on the application. Upgrading Notes to a new version will invariably disable previously installed plugins, so you need to go to File > Application > Application Management.... Custom plugins are in the second category, and if they have a red circle crossed through, it's disabled and needs re-enabling.

You cannot use an NTF with XPinc. The status bar will show a message about it not running. You can have an NSF with a TEMPLATE NAME that will refresh other database that inherit from that template. If you need the NTF for database creation purposes, develop in an NSF that has a TEMPLATE NAME from which the NTF inherits. (EG: MyAppDev). THe NTF then has a TEMPLATE NAME from whihc other databases inherit (EG: MyApp)
