Hi,
the SDK contains many examples showing the usage of the API etc. The
examples got not really maintained and the workload for testing them is
high.
Some time in the past i have already mentioned that the idea is to
remove some of the examples from the SDK. Mainly examples written in
Java that are now available as NetBeans projects and that can be used
instead. The advantage of the NetBeans projects is that you can easier
browse the code and debug the examples directly from NetBeans. The
removed examples (in the original structure) can be stored for potential
use. Well the idea still is to provide the examples as Eclipse projects
as well, or as MSDEV projects converted to C++, or Python? Volunteers
are welcome!
A further advantage of having the examples standalone and documented in
the wiki is that the community can easier help to improve the examples.
you can comment them on the related discussion page, can improve the
code or the documentation etc. We now have enough experienced API users
that can help in this area ;-)
Anyway nothing is decided yet and the SDK build system will remain in
the SDK independent of the examples. That means your own solutions based
on the SDK build env will still work.
The main reason for this email is that i would like to ask if somebody
has concerns about this planned change. If so please let me know and let
us continue further discussion on d...@api.openoffice.org.
By the way QA volunteers for the SDK examples or the SDK in general are
welcome. If you are interested to help in this area please let me know.
Regards
Juergen
