<question heading="Bootstrap OpenOffice">How to bootstrap OpenOffice.org?
</question>

<answer>
<p>This method bootstraps OpenOffice.</p>
<p>If you don&apos;t want to add all the UNO jars to your classpath do following:</p>
<p>1. Add these files to your jar (you find them in a SDK subfolder):</p>
<p>com/sun/star/lib/loader/Loader$CustomURLClassLoader.class</p>
<p>com/sun/star/lib/loader/Loader.class</p>
<p>com/sun/star/lib/loader/InstallationFinder$StreamGobbler.class</p>
<p>com/sun/star/lib/loader/InstallationFinder.class</p>
<p>com/sun/star/lib/loader/WinRegKey.class</p>
<p>com/sun/star/lib/loader/WinRegKeyException.class</p>
<p>win/unowinreg.dll</p>
<p></p>
<p>2. Create a MANIFEST.MF file for your jar and use it when creating</p>
<p>the jar. The MANIFEST.MF must look like:</p>
<p>Main-Class: com.sun.star.lib.loader.Loader</p>
<p></p>
<p>Name: com/sun/star/lib/loader/Loader.class</p>
<p>Application-Class: my.package.MyClass</p>
<p>Application-Name: my/package/MyClass.class</p>
<p></p>
<p>3. Start your application using e.g. this command:</p>
<p>java -jar myjar.jar</p>
<listing>import {%see com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap};
import {%see com.sun.star.comp.helper.BootstrapException};
import {%see com.sun.star.lang.XMultiComponentFactory};
import {%see com.sun.star.uno.XComponentContext};

/**
 * This method bootstraps a OpenOffice and returns it&apos;s Desktop.
 * 
 * @return
 */
public void bootstrapOpenOffice()
{
	XComponentContext xRemoteContext = null;
	try
	{
		// Connect or start a OpenOffice instance
		xRemoteContext = Bootstrap.bootstrap();
	}
	catch (BootstrapException e) {
	}

	// get OO desktop
	XMultiComponentFactory xRemoteServiceManager = 
			xRemoteContext.getServiceManager();

	Object desktop = null;
	try	{
		desktop = xRemoteServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(
				&quot;com.sun.star.frame.Desktop&quot;, xRemoteContext
		);
	}
	catch (Exception e)	{
	}
}</listing>
