 Confirmed (also for 4.1.4 RC4)

 However it can still be installed as an extension:
 https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/sun-wiki-publisher

 Last time I tried it the "send to" option was there, but I never tested
 further...

I rebuilt trunk on Windows with --enable-wiki-publisher.  The first
problem is that the extension does not appear to get packaged.  If you
have the Windows build tree handy, then you can find the extension here:
  mail/solver/420/wntmsci12.pro/bin/swext/wiki-publisher.oxt
I went into the extension manager and told it to add this extension. The
extension manager appears to successfully add the extension, and when I
look at the File->Send submenu, I see an entry for "To MediaWiki..."
menu entry, but it is grayed out and can't be selected.  I don't know
how to debug this.

Can someone with a Linux or Mac build tree try this experiment?  A 4.1.4
build tree should be fine as long as you configured with
--enable-wiki-publisher.

 OK, I misunderstood.

 My hope was that at least this old extension would work, since building
 with --enable-wiki-publisher (tried also the additional
 --with-servlet-api-jar) does not have any effect on a build.
 We build releases with that option, so normally there should be no need
 to install this (old) extension.

 It is the extension that I tested and it does not work. There were API
 changes introduced in AOO Version 4.0.0 that were most likely never
 updated in the extension. It is the extension that adds to MediaWiki
 into File/Send.

This gets more and more interesting. I have added the Sun Wiki Publisher
extension to my Windows installation and It adds a "to MediaWiki" entry
to the File/Send options. If clicked it opens the dialog box looking for
the wiki URL and username and password however it does nothing with the
information which is what led me to believe that the API changes from
AOO 4.0 had not been added to the extension. That they hadn't would make
sense since the last time it had been uploaded to the extension site was
2009-09-06. Does the extension code that the FreeBSD port builds and
installs actually use the information and create the a page on the wiki
based on the document it is run against?

I confirm the problem persist, but it's NOT related to the actual release,
it's happening also with older versions (followed Patricia's hint, good

For the sake of it I have also installed Java, but it does not depend on
that.

Whatever is the root cause, it's clearly not an Apache OpenOffice * problem.

 Currently in version 4.1.3 the send to MediaWiki option does not work.
 My SWAG is that the Sun Wiki Publisher Extension was never updated to
 work with the API changes introduced with the 4.0.0 Release.

The --enable-wiki-publisher should cause the .oxt file for the extension
to be built.  On FreeBSD that ends up getting packaged along with
everything else and gets installed along with the rest.  By default, if
you want to use it, you have to go into Extension Manager and dig around
in the installed tree to find the .oxt file and add it.

I haven't tried building this extension on either Linux or Windows, so I
don't know if/how it gets packaged.

I've got some patches in the FreeBSD port of the snapshot of trunk that
causes the extensions that are built along with the rest of the source
to be treated as integrated extensions so they automatically show up as
installed in Extension Manager.  With that I get a functional send
button that pops up a dialog box that asks for MediaWiki server and some
other info.

There is a bunch of stuff scattered around the wiki about bundled and
integrated extensions and how they should be packaged.

Apache

OpenOffice.


IMHO not at all. Java 9 was published just 2 weeks ago. So, it will
take
some time until it's the favorite one. Until then 8 is developer's
darling.


The builds are using Java 6 or 7, right?​


With the next larger release (probably 4.2.0) we will use Java 8 which
should last a longer time. Time enough to decide what to do with the
dependency of Java 32-bit.


   I'm still on 32-bit Linux for now but my default OpenJDK is 1.8. I

can run

AOO fine with it but must use 1.7 for building.

I just want to say, this makes me very happy.  I regret that I haven't
had enough free time to make any real contribution myself, but massive
props to everybody who made this happen!  AOO lives on!  :-)

I still have some ideas for Calc I want to work on, so maybe I'll

I believe that it has always been an extension but not really sure. The
question becomes since the extension was written by Sun, was it included
in the original transfer from Oracle so that we as a project can change it.

I will start a new thread so that this does not get lost in the bowels
of a thread initially started for a very technical purpose.

OK, I misunderstood.

My hope was that at least this old extension would work, since building
with --enable-wiki-publisher (tried also the additional
--with-servlet-api-jar) does not have any effect on a build.
We build releases with that option, so normally there should be no need
to install this (old) extension.

Developers might have a look into it. It would be nice to have it
working again in 4.2.0.

It is the extension that I tested and it does not work. There were API
changes introduced in AOO Version 4.0.0 that were most likely never
updated in the extension. It is the extension that adds to MediaWiki

I see that you had 4.1.3 installed and it was working correctly. You
renamed the user profile (to simulate a fresh installation) and installed
4.1.4.

How far do you get when you start OpenOffice? For example:
- Does the new profile folder get created or OpenOffice dies before
creating it?


It does that.

- Can you see, even for a fraction of a second, the OpenOffice splash
screen?


No way.


Probably it would be best if you can start OpenOffice from a terminal (look
for an executable called "soffice"). It should output something to the
terminal before dying and that will probably give some clues to understand
what the problem is due to and how common we can expect it to be.

I've just tried this on another Mac, with the very same operating system,
and it works.
I need to wait until later today to retry on the other machine, let's say
in 6 hours from now.

Best,

Roberto













As I wrote in the vote thread: it might be that this bug is not so common
to be considered a blocker, but if it is not due to your particular
configuration then we should mention it in the Release Notes once it is

If I remember it correctly, the last time we had problems with AOO and
macOS (Sierra) it had something to do with the graphics card.
Maybe there is a difference between Robertos mac and all the others?

@Roberto:
Just to make sure that it is not the splash screen causing trouble, can
you delete (move away) "intro.png" from the (OpenOffice) program folder?
AOO then normally starts without splash screen.

Re: Java 9 32-bit

2017-10-04 Thread Peter kovacs
How relevant is Win 32 bit in future?
Shouldn't we offer a Win 64bit in long run?

Why move to C#? I do not see the benefit.
I would rather opt for a clean modern C++ library design with hourglass APIs. 
With that we can support all languages people want to use in an extention.
And we reduce complexity on our side.
No license issues whatsoever is also on the boon fact.

All the best
