OpenOffice NetBeans Integration/To-Dos
Overview of task which have to be done to enhance the current plugin

Debug support for component
It should be possible to debug UNO components directly from NetBeans. That means local office user directory and locally started office with the appropriate debug environment enabled. Comparable to the plugin development in NetBeans and the option to install a new plugin in the target platform.
C++ support
With the inclusion of C++ as supported programming language in NetBeans, the plugin should also support the creation of all project types in C++.
Scripting support
General support of scripting (Java, Javascript, ...). It should be possbile to create, deploy and debug scripts from within NetBeans into the office or into open documents.
Minor Tasks
Initialization of counter variables

To improve the usability it would be nice to have arrow images or something similar on the move buttons (menu position, toolbar position, ...)
Default package
All projects should support the same default package or at least the same beginning org.openoffice....
