------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Oct 14 09:10:42 -0700 2006 ------- Currently, it is difficult to use the OpenOffice.org UNO bindings for Java within a framework. Frameworks often use a custom class loader and need the jar libraries in a local folder. Thus, they cannot load classes from an external directory. Thus, most java programmers use a custom class loader to load the OpenOffice.org libraries, like described in http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1284. The Eclipse Rich Client framework for example can not be used without modified UNO bindings for Java. That problem can be solved by adding a new "Bootsraps.bootsraps()" method and a new "OOBean()" constructor taking as parameter the path to the OpenOffice.org installation. These methods would not require that the jar files are located at the OpenOffice.org installation directory. I.e.: /**Bootstraps OpenOffice. * @param ooHome installation directory of OpenOffice.org */ public void com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap.bootstrap(String ooHome) /**Class constructor taking the installation directory of OpenOffice.org as argument * @param ooHome installation directory of OpenOffice.org */ public com.sun.star.beans.OOoBean(String ooHome) To overcome the problem of incompatibilities between OpenOffice.org versions, these methods could check if the OpenOffice.org binary has the same version as the jar files. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
