I would like to create some kind of add-on that will allow OOo 2.0 Writer users insert names from a database table (probably MySQL via JDBC) in the document they edit (to avoid spelling mistakes etc) but i am not sure how i should try to do this between macros, add-ons and a huge unknown API. I will probably have to add a menu entry or button somewhere that will activate a popuo/dialog, or an inline dropdown control (maybe only available in forms?).
I have used datasources while editing documents to copy > paste etc, but what is required is something that feels more well integrated and, if possible, only activates itself for a specific template (.odt).
The next step could be that these inserted names should be some kind of text field that has a reference to the datasource but i can worry about that later.
Any pointers on where i should start looking much appreciated, especially examples i can learn from... we use Java but i guess we can cope with other languages as well.
