All our clients with an Windows XP system have admin access. They will
install a new OpenOffice version as soon as OpenOffice tells them about
the new version. Thus the path to the Extension Manager changes and is
out of my scope.

Currently we use a little batch file installing the extension or
updating it with the extension manager. But the paths in the batch file
are hard coded.

We would prefer the solution of checking (updating or installing) an
extension from within Java, because we start OpenOffice from a little
Java programm. Thus we can check whether the correct Extension version
is installed and install a different if necessary.

And there is an other reason. Our clients use OpenOffice on different
platforms. The paths on these platforms are different. Using the API to
manage packages is the only platform independent solution.

For us, publishing the api would be very useful.

Greetings, Tobias
