Please check the latest source. I think now you would do something like:
@Requirement
private OpenOfficeManager manager;
//...
foo()
{
if (manager.getStatus() == OpenOfficeStatus.STARTED) {
OpenOfficeConverter converter = manger.getConverter();
converter.convert(input, output);
// Do something with output.
} else {
// report error.
}
}
So you do not need to worry about any opneoffice server management. In fact,
openoffice server management is not upto the code, it should be done by an
admin user. You should only check whether openoffice server is running or
not (by OpenOfficeManger.getState()) and take action as needed.
Thanks.
