OpenOffice Eclipse Integration

Introduction

The Eclipse integration aims at lowering the barriers to develop extensions for OpenOffice.org or URE based applications. This page will be an entry point to other documents on the plugins' use or development.

Installation

For the installation, please refer to the corresponding section in the Java component tutorial. The eclipse update site is located at http://api.openoffice.org/Projects/EclipseIntegration/dev-update/site.xml.

The minimum requirements for the latest version are:

• Java 1.5 or newer
• Eclipse 3.2 or newer

Features

This section is only a draft and needs to be much more detailled.

Package properties editor

In unstable version

Each extension project can contain a file package.properties describing the files to include in the extension package. This file could be edited in a special editor, like the one shown by this screenshot.
