[[Building]] and [[hacking]] on OpenOffice.org (OOo) entails climbing a fairly lengthy and steep incline.  Hopefully, this wiki will make the learning curve less steep and less abrupt, and will give you a walking stick to help you out.
 
 
Much of our documentation assumes that you'll be using a reasonably current Linux system, as this the most easy environment to start. On Linux all prerequisites are available as [http://www.gnu.org Free software]. There is also some information on developing on [[Windows]].
 
 
It should also be noted that you can build either the plain 'up-stream' OOo or use an [[ooo-build]] release which adds some patches & fixes. The ooo-build process is destined to being gradually phased out as the various up-stream issues it solves go away.
 
 
In the same way, learning UNO components development is not an easy task. To help you there is an Eclipse plugin and a tutorial to use it. You can install the Eclipse plugin by using the following update site: http://cedric.bosdonnat.free.fr/ooeclipseintegration. The tutorial on how to create a UNO component in Java is available in the [http://api.openoffice.org/files/documents/22/3216/JavaComponentTuto.odt api project docs & files sections]. The document will even be wikified on this page: [[JavaEclipseTuto | Java Tutorial using Eclipse]]

Development Documentation Marketing Native Language User Resources


Welcome to the OpenOffice.org wiki

This wiki is for all projects associated with OpenOffice.org (OOo). It is new, so it is mainly focussed on resources for developers. As other projects are added to the wiki, they will be listed in the Navigation Bar Above.

Join us in contributing to the OpenOffice.org Wiki. Please use your OOo login name for the wiki account. Some functionality is available only if you are logged in to avoid SPAM. Additionally your email address has to be validated. We might be able to avoid the separate user administration later and log you in with the OpenOffice.org site credentials.

To get started editing the wiki see Help:Editing.
