[dev] devel packages

[tora - Takamichi Akiyama]

Hi,

Linux distributions come with additional packages for software engineers.

A package 'kernel' is the one for runtime while '-devel' and '-headers'
are for engineers and/or users to make small changes to the existing files.

E.g.
 kernel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
 kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
 kernel-headers-2.6.23.1-42.fc8


Likewise how about having such auxiliary packages for the OpenOfffice.org?

E.g.
 ooobasis3.1-core04-3.1.0-9399.i586.rpm
 ooobasis3.1-core04-devel-3.1.0-9399.i586.rpm

The files from the 'devel' package would be installed into
/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0/include/ and/or some relevant locations.

Any thoughts?
Tora

[dev] openoffice eclipse plugin

[George Foster]

Hello,

I am new to open office development and I am running into an issue
installing the open office sdk eclipse plugin.  I am following the
instructions listed below in the open office eclipse wiki.

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice_Eclipse_Integration

Here are the spec of my system.


   - *Java: 1.5.0_19*
   - *Eclipse: 3.4.2*
   - *OpenOffice.org:
3.1.1*
   - OpenOffice.org *SDK: 3.1
   *


When I create a new project and attempt to point the sdk path to the correct
directory I get an error saying: "SDK version has to be at least 2.0.4".  Is
this a bug with the plugin?  if not should I create one and if so is it
planning on getting resolved.

Thanks,
George

[dev] Improving HTML-output after import from MS-Word

[larrydlefever]

per
 
http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m59/sw/source/filter/html/htmlatr.cxx#1013

there seem to be certain rules regarding when a  tag is output when using
"Save as ..." in Writer (I tried to translate the German here into English
-- I need help with that, incidentally):

Ein  wird nur geschrieben, wenn
- wir in keiner OL/UL/DL sind, oder
- der Absatz einer OL/UL nicht numeriert ist, oder
- keine Styles exportiert werden und
 - ein unterer Abstand oder
 - eine Absatz-Ausrichtung existiert, ode
- Styles exportiert werden und,
 - die Textkoerper-Vorlage geaendert wurde, oder
 - ein Benutzer-Format exportiert wird, oder
 - Absatz-Attribute existieren


A  is written only if:
 - we're not in a list of any kind; or
 - the paragraph we're in is in an unordered list; or
 - no Styles are being exported and a (lower distance?) exists or
 a paragraph-adjustment exists; or
 - Styles are being exported and the text-body format/style? was changed; or
 - a User-defined format is being exported; or
 - paragraph-attributes exist

I want to know if I'd need to hack that native code there, in order to get
cleaner HTML-output than I'm currently getting from OpenOffice.

Incidentally, I've also tried Exporting as XHTML, but the resultant output
is even worse than that from "Save as ...": stuff that should not appear in
a list does so, etc.

I've tweaked the Java-example servlet for document-conversion, so it takes
an MS-Word doc as upload and returns (really just the file:/// URL of) an
HTML-document.

I do like so in my code:

// Setting the filter name
propertyvalue[1] = new PropertyValue();
propertyvalue[1].Name = "FilterName";
propertyvalue[1].Value = "HTML (StarWriter)";

... which I believe means, effectively, "Save as ...", rather than "Export",
the latter involving a different area of the OpenOffice codebase, if I'm not
mistaken.

I've seen some documentation on using XSLT to configure or customize the
Export process, but, as I've just noted, the Export output seems worse than
the output I'm getting (which I believe is from "Save as ..." instead of
Export).

The problem is that the result (which is, at this point, a resume) comes out
looking double-spaced.  Also, there are two or three cases of another
formatting-issue that seem to have to do with -tags (or divs) within one
or another type of HTML-list.

So, what's the best way to make the desired improvements in the HTML-output?

Should I just do some quick-and-dirty post-processing in my Java-code
(which, however, means processing the same file twice, essentially)?  Or
should I go deep into that native code to try to fix the relevant filter? 
Or is there a way to use XSLT in this case that I'm missing?

[dev] How to get started.

[G. Michael Carter]

Lately I've been having an argument with my brother-in-law.  He claims
that MS Excel is more powerful than OpenOffice calc making it the best
choice for the "average users".    

His examples are: "There are two major
problems:  I need the TREND
worksheet function to be capable of third order polynomial trend lines,
which it seems that it cannot based on the OO help.  Also, in the graph
there should be a sixth order polynomial trend line added within the
options of the chart, as I have done in excel.  I was looking at the
chart options in Calc and polynomial trend line isn't listed.  "

None of my 14 home users have any clue what he's talking about... but
It dawned on me.  If I just fix it and submit it to the OO code tree
than he has no leg to stand on...

How hard is it to fix bugs?  What do I need to get started?

Thanks,
Michael

You can ignore this warning. See
