Getting started with OOo development
Get Started from Scratch
You will find how to:
- get the source
- and build OpenOffice.org
step by step in the Building Guide.
You are at the start of a long, but very exciting journey! There are many ways to get started, but the easiest one is to:
- Get the source code and build you own OpenOffice.org so that you are able to modify things
- Pick up your favorite bug/annoyance, and try to fix that
- When you see that hacking OOo pleases you, it's time to look for bigger tasks, get in contact on IRC or on the mailing list: mailto:dev@openoffice.org
If you want to extend OpenOffice.org with extensions and UNO components take a look at the Development Guide. The easiest way to get started is by using the plugins for Netbeans and for Eclipse.
