Dear OOo SDK/API and especially Office bean users,

The new and first official OOoBean was integrated into a OOo 2 prerelease
some months ago.  Now I have closed the project website:

http://api.openoffice.org/Projects/OOoBean/index.html

The source code can be found in the api/bean project, the spec in the
specs project: http://specs.openoffice.org/ for which I introduced a new
page for UNO/API/SDK related specs:
http://specs.openoffice.org/sdk/index.html

Putting the Bean into the application wide area would cause trouble at
latest when we introduce application specific Java Beans.  The same might
be true for other SDK components.  All other specs are more UI specs
rather than API specs anyway.

The OOoBean is actually just a base class which can be used to implement
JavaBeans for OOo comoments.  It can be used directly in Java
applications, though.  Just not as a real Java Bean.  Please take details
from the updated chapter on the OOoBean, which is currently checked and
will be replace the old OfficeBean chapter soon.

Implementations based on the old Office Bean framework (LocalOfficeWindow
and LocalOfficeConnection) should still work.  But toolbox/menu controll
will not work anymore due to changes in the OOo toolbox/menu
implementation.  The new OOoBean uses the new APIs for this funktionality.

        Michael
