developer toolbox

openoffice je developerska platforma. Preko njegovog UNO interfejsa se može iz vanjske aplikacije pristupiti openoffice funkcijama.

Pored tog mehanizma on ima i sistem extenzija koji omogućava da se openoffice aplikacijama kaže nešto slično kao mozilla ekstenzije

jezici koji imaju dobre bindinge za pristup openoffice-u preko UNO interface-a su java i python

velika je mahana tradicionalno ovog openoffice sistema što je dosta nepristupačna i komplikovana za developere, što je poprilično paradoksalno kad znamo da se radi o opensource aplikaciji ...

vidim da su sada ovaj devguide prebacili na wiki. Ovaj pdf pokriva ver 2.3 ... znači postar je.

A OpenOffice.org macro is a short program used to automate a number of steps. The Scripting Framework is a new feature in OpenOffice.org. It allows users to write and run macros for OpenOffice.org in a number of programming and scripting languages including:

• BeanShell (http://www.beanshell.org/)
• JavaScript (http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/)
• Java (http://www.java.com)
• OpenOffice.org Basic OpenOffice.org Basic

The framework is designed so that developers can add support for new languages.

međutim sve je ovo nekako rogobatno, konfuzno, neažurno ...

zbog toga developeri (najviše novell-ovi koliko znam) pokrenuli su ovaj projekat

Go-oo (previously called ooo-build¹) is a concentrated set of patches for the cross-platform OpenOffice.org office suite. Go-oo is also one of OpenOffice.org variants created from these patches. It has better support for Office Open XML file formats than the official OpenOffice.org releases produced by Sun Microsystems[citation needed], and other enhancements that have either not yet been accepted into the upstream Sun version, or will not be because of business or political reasons.[2] Some of these changes or enhancements will eventually be part of the Sun version, too; the process of assessing patches, "upstreaming", just takes time.[3]

For example, the only way to have a spell-checker for Indonesian and many other languages in OpenOffice.org 3 is by using Go-oo releases, since many other OpenOffice.org releases don't include them by default and their individual extension is not yet available. The hybrid PDF export (PDF that include their original source documents), Sun Presentation Minimizer, and other functionality is directly available in Go-oo.

The OpenOffice.org included with many popular Linux distributions such as Debian, Mandriva, openSUSE and Ubuntu⁴ uses some of Go-oo patches.[5]⁶

Go-oo, for being based on OpenOffice.org, supports the ISO/IEC standard file formats OpenDocument (full support) and Office Open XML (import only) for data interchange, as well as Microsoft Office 97–2003 formats, among many others.
