Getting started with Apache OpenOffice development
You are at the start of a long, but very exciting journey! Apache OpenOffice is a large and inclusive project. No matter what your interests are, there is always a place for you here. There are many ways to get started, but the easiest one is to:
Get the source code and start building
Build you own OpenOffice so that you are able to modify things
 |
The Building Guide will walk you through this. |
Fix a bug or an annoyance
Pick up your favorite bug/annoyance, and try to fix that. Read how to Contribute a patch via Issue Tracker.
|
Browse [Top voted issues] or review our To-Dos list that presents the key issues of interest to the core components |
Contribute more
When you see that hacking AOO pleases you, it's time to look for bigger tasks, get in contact on IRC or on the development mailing list. The list is friendly and supportive; the people want to help.
Create an extension
Extensions are easy to write and fun to see in action. You can add features that millions of others will use by using Java, Python, StarBasic, or JavaScript. Find more on Extension development wiki page. The OpenOffice.org UNO component model is quite extensive and can be daunting at first. To help you, there is a comprehensive Development Guide. The easiest way to get started is by using the plugins for Netbeans and for Eclipse. Plus, you can get help from the [API mailing list].
