If you have Lotus/IBM/HCL Notes, Domino Designer® client and Domino Administrator client installed on your workstation, but the Show Java Debug Console menu does not appear in the Tools menu, then you need to enable the Advanced Menus by selecting View (1) -> Advanced Menus (2) in Notes (see below image). After that, the Show Java Debug Console menu will appear under the Tools menu as in the above image.

If you have a Notes-Only installation on your workstation then the Advanced Menus are **not available** by default. In this case, the following parameter can be supplied in your notes.ini file which will enable access to advanced menu actions: MenusAdvanced=1

In Lotus Notes 6 or 7, the Show Java Debug Console menu is found in File > Tools > Show Java Debug Console.
