Hi Éric, > Sorry for the newbye question, but what do you call "helpers"?
classes which help you bridging the gap between one or more UNO interface/s and a concrete implementation of this/those interface/s :) For instance, if you have a class which should implement XPropertySet, XMultiPropertySet, and XFastPropertySet, you could implement all their methods manually - which would be a lot of code, especially if you care for listener notifications, thread safety, and the like. Or, you derive from ::cppu::OPropertySetHelper, and implement only a few methods, basically saying "get property value number X", "set property value number X", "get information about all properties". There's a lot classes like this, which help you avoiding all the repeating work which usually is involved with implementing a particular interface.
