Thank you Ariel, thank you thank you thank you. The zip you sent (off list) is exactly what I needed. I just needed to redirect the library to OpenOffice 2.4 and it worked really well.
I am sorry for using the wrong list.

The *complete* example is on the SDK, in the folder [/opt/openoffice.org2.4_sdk]/examples/DevelopersGuide/FirstSteps I send you a NetBeans Project ready to use. But also think first about studying the documentation, before diving into the examples (otherwise you may get completely lost...)
