Hi

Hi Claudia,

My name is Claudia Castedo, I`m interested in help to you programming in the 
part of Spreadsheets, and I would like to know if the code from that part is 
done in Java, because that`s the lenguage I know more about to program.
I would like to begin as soon as possible, if you can send me some information.

No sorry, the code for the Spreadsheet Component is basically C++ including the shared components it uses. In fact there are only very few components in OOo that use java.

On the other hand though it is possible to write Calc Addins using among others the Java Programming language. So if you would for example like to contribute a set of special purpose Calc formular functions you can write an addon in java which contains them.

No matter what programming language you use and no matter wether you intent to help on programming on core components or intend to just use OOo as a component in your own application or write addins or extensions: it is always a good idea to start by getting familar with OOo´s component model UNO, therefor you should have a look at the OOo Developers Guide, which can be found at the following location:

http://api.openoffice.org/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.html

UNO has language bindings which allow UNO Components to be used by different kinds of programming languages, including but not limited to java.

There is also a small chapter on Calc Addins in the Developers Guide at:

http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/Spreadsheet/Spreadsheet.htm#1+6+Spreadsheet+Add-Ins

For the OpenOffice.org api there is also a separte mailing list [email protected]

Kind regards,
Bernd Eilers
