oh no you don't bother at all! I still owe you an answer to the other mail, I had to wait until now that I have a little free time. Anyway, if you send your mail to [email protected] you get more chances to a faster/better answer, and there you'll find more qualified people, in fact you'll find there the plug-in developers. So I CC you and send this mail to the [email protected] mailing list (notice that also [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be a proper list) In this case, a mail to this list would be better, as this is IMHO an issue in the plug-in: it does not re-build the types library when the idl files are modified; when you choose "Debug...", "Create OXT" etc. , the plug-in should IMO check if the IDL files were modified and re-build the types library in that case. Steps to reproduce it: * create an add-in using the wizard * debug it by choosing "Debug Extension in Target OOo" * stop debugging * add a new function to the interface IDL definition * add the new function to the Add-in configuration CalcAddIns.xcu * add the implementation for this new function on your class * debug it by choosing again "Debug Extension in Target OOo" You will get an error when registering the extension http://www.ArielConstenlaHaile.com.ar/ooo/temp/images/Andreas.png The solution is *cleaning* the project (right-click and choose "Clean") before deploying it, this way the type library will be re-build again. > So I could get it to compile with a second function I have inserted, I > could generate the oxt, but then I cannot deploy.

[1] When your function has no parameters, you just write an empty node <node oor:name="Parameters"/> Anyway the Extension Manager didn't complain about it... > in my .xcu file (this is just copied from the one for connect, but with > a name change). > > I also noticed that I have to use int in the code but long in the .idl? > Also double and String didn't work. I don't grok this. this is because in the IDL for your interfaces you must use UNO types, and in your code you must use the corresponding Java type mapping the UNO type, as described in http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/FirstSteps/Common_Types http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Simple_Types http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Java/Type_Mappings Regards Ariel.
