------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Sep 11 09:52:11 +0000 2007 ------- O.K. - First you would need to get ooRexx which is quickly installed (and cleanly de-installed) from: <http://www.oorexx.org/download.html>. To test whether installation went alright you'd just enter "rexx -v" on the command line and would get the Rexx version information. - Second you would have to fetch the BSF4Rexx package, which adds the ability to interface Rexx with Java and Java with Rexx. In addition it contains specific support for OOo to make programming/scripting easier than with Java. The latest version (which is slated to be released after OOo 2.3) can be found here: <http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4rexx/old/2007/dist.20070707/>. There you'll find everything including all of the sources. --> What you need is: <BSF4Rexx_install.zip>, download it and unzip it. All the files will reside in the created subdirectory named "bsf4rexx". --- you will see the jar "ScriptProviderForooRexx.jar" which is the package/extension using OOo' scripting framework and from which the reported error message comes from --> change into that directory and issue the following two commands in the following sequence: rexx setupBSF.rex This will create a few batch files: rexxj.{cmd|sh} ... start any Rexx program via Java setEnvironment4BSF4Rexx.{cmd|sh} ... sets up environment to allow Rexx to invoke Java (and successfully run Rexx scripts that need to access Java) rexx setupOOo.rex path-to-OpenOffice-directory rexx setupOOo.rex d:\Programme\OpenOffice.org 2.3 This will create a few batch files: setEnvironment4OOo.{cmd|sh} ... sets up environment to allow accessing OOo via Java installOOo.{cmd|sh} ... this copies the Rexx support files to the OOo directory and installs "ScriptProviderForooRexx.jar" using "unopkg"; this will then allow to use ooRexx as a scripting/macro language from within OOo using OOo's scripting framework uninstallOOo.{cmd|sh} ... uninstalls whatever "installOOo" installed TESTING your installation: 1) testing access to OOo from the commandline: - run "setEnvironment4OOo.{cmd|sh}" - run "rexxj.{cmd|sh} testOOo2.rex" 2) testing access from within OOo: - go to "Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros ... -> ooRexx ..." the popup would show the root nodes "My Macros", "OpenOffice.org Macros" and "Untitled1"; it is not possible to proceed beyond this popup as one cannot create libraries and macros within libraries - if it worked, then you would just create a library and a new macro which you could execute immediately, no matter from which module you invoke the macro (it will check for the document type and bring up an informational popup; it's just a sceleton to test and to extend) --- I hope that these instructions are detailed enough, if not, or if something is unclear, then please do not hesitate to communicate that (unfortunately, I have a few dates today, such that I may not be able to immediately answer, but I will look out until late night whenever I get a chance). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
