How to create plugin in Adobe InDesign -CS5 using java?

Hi,
1.I want to create new plugin in adobe in design CS5 using java .is it possible using java???Is any one know about this please help me on this..

Short answer: No, it isn't possible. The only available option is C++ development in most cases.
Longer answer: It is possible to develop solutions with Java, depending on circumstances. The only available and truly sensible option is through InDesign Server which exposes InDesigns' scripting API to Java. Keep in mind that it us unavailable for desktop version of the product, and also, that it won't be a plugin, only scripting solutions. This means that you are given access to rather high-level API, and many details are removed. This may or may not be acceptable, depending on what exactly you want to achieve. Sometimes it is possible to avoid integration with Java at all.

How to uninstall and reinstall Adobe InDesign CS5?

My Adobe InDesign CS5 stopped opening properly. Upon startup all the menu items were grayed out and unaccessible. Adobe Chat support advised me to uninstall and reinstall CS5.
My other Adobe programs are working fine. (CS5 photoshop, illustrator, acrobat, etc.)
MacBook Pro OS10.9.3
Anyone know how to uninstall and reinstall CS5?
Unfortunately Adobe chat service no longer supports this function on this older software.
Thanks for your help.

before you go to the trouble of uninstalling/reinstalling--try this (it's called resetting the preferences)
OOPs--I forgot that I was in the indesign forum
There is a quick and easy method for doing this using the keyboard: close and relaunch InDesign, and IMMEDIATELY hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac), and respond in the affirmative to the dialog asking if you really want to replace the preferences. There are two downsides to this method, however. First, you must be extremely fast on the keyboard (if you don’t see the confirmation prompt, you were too slow), and second, anytime you replace the preferences you will lose most program customizations, and using the keyboard method leaves you with no backup to restore them when the problem turns out to be something else.
My preferred method is to CLOSE INDESIGN and do a “manual” prefs replacement, which consists of finding and renaming the two files which make up the preference set: InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData. BOTH of these files should be replaced at the same time. You can delete them, but renaming or moving them will give you the opportunity to copy them back in the event that new prefs doesn’t cure your issue. When you restart ID, the program will look for these two files, and when they are not found, a new default set will be written.

How to create and edit a .ini file using java

Hi All...
Pls help me in creating and editing an .ini file using java...
thanks in advance
Regards,
sathya

Let's assume the ini file is a mapping type storage (key=value) so lets use Properties object. (works with java 1.4 & up)
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Properties;
public class Test {
     private static Properties props;
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
          File file = new File("test.ini");//This is out ini file
          props = new Properties();//Create the properties object
          read(file);//Read the ini file
          //Once we've populated the Properties object. set/add a property using the setProperty() method.
          props.setProperty("testing", "value");
          write(file);//Write to ini file
     public static void read(File file) throws IOException {
          FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);//Create a FileInputStream
          props.load(fis);//load the ini to the Properties file
          fis.close();//close
     public static void write(File file) throws IOException {
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);//Create a FileOutputStream
          props.store(fos, "");//write the Properties object values to our ini file
          fos.close();//close
}

How to create multiple component instances at runtime using java

Hi,
I need to create component instances at runtime using java.I found ComponentSet.add method.But I am not finding a way to get handle of ComponentSet.
I see methods with params of IRuntimeNode.But how to get ComponentSet from IRuntimeNode.
If anybody knows or have sampel code then please share with me.
thanks,
ashok

Ashok --
This is a common challenge for those using Configurator Extensions with multiple instantiation for the first time. The problem is that the CIO's representation of the structure for multiply-instantiable Components differs slightly from what both Configurator Developer users and Configurator Runtime users see in those respective applications. Multiply-instantiable Components are not direct children of the Model in which they're defined. Internally, there is an entity that sits between the parent Model and the instantiable Components; that intermediate entity is the ComponentSet object you've found in the CIO documentation.
If the name of your multiply-instantiable Component is "My Component", then its ComponentSet may be accessed simply by calling getChildByName("My Component") on its parent Model; a List of the instantiated Components may be accessed with the ComponentSet's getChildComponentNodes() method, and instances may be added and deleted using its add() and delete() methods.
Hope this helps.

How to create Table Popins inside a table using Java Webdynpro

Hi All,
I am working on a Java Webdynpro project and one of our requirements is to create Table popins inside the Table. I need to popin data beneath the row based on a value selected from the DropDown Box which is one of the column in the Table.
Also, I need to display vertical scrollbar instead of Table Footer to scroll thru the table rows. Any ideas.........
I would appreciate if you can let me know how can I do this. I am working on the 7.0 version of Java Webdynpro.
Thanks for your time and consideration!

Adobe InDesign CS5 Server SDK - libraries JAVA

trying with helloworld.java in ids cs5 server sdk.
the library com.adobe.ids.sdk.utils.* cannot be imported.
any idea how/from where to import it?
are there more libraries available?

Thanks for that tip Harbs, I have regenerated the API, which produced an InDesignServerAPI.jar that I've been able to use to compile and run against CS5 Server. So I can get on with developing again now . However, it's inconvenient to have to regenerate just to be able to start Java development (and it would be worse if I was using Windows because I'd need to buy Visual Studio, fortunately all the tools needed for regeneration on Mac OS X are free).
Also there are some very useful documents included in the CS4 Server SDK that aren't in the CS5 Products SDK, for example ww-ids-java.pdf (Working with Adobe Indesign CS4 Server Java) and the "Regenerating the Adobe InDesign CS5 Server Java API" document mentions the Server SDK (e.g. "The InDesign CS5 Server SDK installation contains the prebuilt Java API Jar file") so I'm still curious as to whether there will be a CS5 Server SDK.

How to create a new plugin using Adobe InDesign CS5?

How to create our own plugin using Adobe InDesign CS5?is there any documents available for this?

Sure. (Didn't Google find anything?)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
But you don't "use" InDesign to write plugins. You need a C++ compiler and a lot of programming knowledge and experience with C++. If this means nothing to you, don't look any further -- it's way too complicated to "go and get started" at random. Adobe's documentation is not intended for learners, starters, and people who shrink back at the thought of having to read multiple help documents that are each a couple of megabytes large.
Using the SDK is so complicated there's even a part of the forum dedicated to it, aptly (and obviously) called InDesign SDK. If you browse the messages in there, you can get an idea of the most common pitfalls and problems.
If the above scares you off, well, that was fully intentional (sorry, but it is). It's by far easier to write scripts. Scripts have several advantages over plugins:
1. They are platform independent (Javascripts are; AppleScript is just for Macs and Visual Basic is just for Windows). Plugins are exclusively platform dependent. To write the same plugin for both Windows and for Mac, you have to know all the pitfalls of changing code from one platform to another, and you need a complete working compiler and development system for both platforms.
2. They are version independent. Simple scripts work on a fairly great range of InDesign versions -- some of my own scripts date back to CS, and are totally or virtually unchanged. It's even possible to force "too old" scripts to work with newer versions.
3. Scripts can do most of the things a plugin can do. The main difference used to be that plugins allow you to write a fully integrated look-and-feel part of InDesign, but with the advance of ScriptUI and event handlers and menu customization, you come quite far. Only for highly specialized functions you still need a real plugin (custom item integration, custom spell and hyphenation modules, stuff like that).
4. The scripting community is very active -- it also has a forum of its own, called (well, obviously) InDesign Scripting -- and are a friendly lot, always ready to help. (Unless you whine about how to do every little thing. (That is, I can't stand that personally. Others may not mind.))
5. Scripting is easy. ... not really, but it is fairly easy, and compared to writing a custom plugin in C++, it's a breeze, a walk in the park, and a summer stroll all rolled into one.

What IS your operating system, and which exact version?
Is the link below where you are starting for upgrades?

How do i embed a serial key for Adobe Indesign CS5?

Hi there,
I am a software packager and I am trying to silently install Adobe InDesign CS5.

Problem using Adobe InDesign CS5 to prepare a PDF to upload to Magcloud:

I’m using the 30-day trial version of Adobe InDesign CS5.
I’ve downloaded the Magcloud template, created a document using InDesign CS5, exported it to PDF and uploaded it to Magcloud. Magcloud rejects my upload, saying it has the wrong number of pages. For example, if I create a 24-page document in InDesign, Magcloud thinks it has only 13 pages – front and back covers, plus 11 two-page spreads.
Details, please, on how to export from InDesign CS5 so that Magcloud will see the same number of pages that InDesign does.
Thanks,
RC

Sounds like you exported to PDF (Interactive) instead of choosing PDF (Print) from the dropdown or using one of the Print presets from File > Adobe PDF Presets...
