Hi there,

at <http://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/diplomarbeiten/#bakk_201203a> you will find a brand 
new Bachelor paper
from a student who explains and demonstrates the ODF Toolkit for 
"end-user/business programmers".

The programming language used, ooRexx (http://www.oorexx.org), was originally 
created by IBM and
handed over to the non-profit SIG "Rexx LA" (http://www.rexxla.org) for 
opensourcing. There is an
ooRexx function package named BSF4ooRexx 
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/), which
camouflages Java as the dynamic typed, caseless ooRexx, hence making it easy 
for end-user/business
programmer types of people to exploit all of Java with a syntax that is much 
easier for them.
Licenses are either CPL or AL.

All the code in the student's paper can be executed as is.

P.S.: BSF4ooRexx will also integrate ooRexx as a macro language for OpenOffice, 
if at installation
time OpenOffice is found on the system (or doing a reinstall via the menu 
later). This is done in
the form of an OO extension (works for OOo and LO, not yet tested for AOO, but 
should work there as
well). The special OOo support is meant to make it easy for end-user/business 
programmer type of
people to program OOo thereby taking advantage of it. The OOo Snippet web page 
carries quite a few
ooRexx nutshell examples demonstrating how to program OOo.
