    Hope you already get it. If not you can download following the link "Get Lotus Symphony 3 Beta 2" in homepage to the Beta 2 download page, there are both the product and SDK download. Have fun!

    what abot the extension points used in plugin.xml, e.g. "com.ibm.productivity.tools.ui.spreadsheet" for example. Those also seem to have been deprecated, but I can not find any information about a replacement.

    regards,

    Joscha

    answer to my previous question: seems to be "com.ibm.symphony.ui.spreadsheet".
