At ApacheCon Europe it turned out that one is able to deploy the oxt-extension
("ScriptProviderForooRexx.oxt") in user mode successfully!The same extension cannot be successfully deployed in shared mode on MacOSX as described, even running unopkg as super user manually. Therefore I just added the oxt to the issue at <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120359> as an attachment, such that it becomes possible to test this "stand-alone", i.e. without a need to install the entire BSF4ooRexx package. ---rony On 24.07.2012 20:08, Rony G.
