I have finished the renaming from "OpenOffice.org" to "Apache
OpenOffice" - see issue 121388.
Beside corresponding changes in the user interface this change has
impact on the following
important and critical stuff:
- folder/directory names
- package names
- Windows registry key names and values
- ...
As the folder/directory path to the user profile is also changed, the
user profile of a former
installed AOO (or OOo) version is not taken over.
for installation script purposes of add-ons etc., where can one find
the concrete strings for
folder/directory names on the various operating system platforms and
the Windows registry key names
and values?
Unfortunately, there is no single place in the source code. I also had
not the resources to clean this up during the renaming work - hint,
hint, hint :-)
Please have a look at issue 121388, the wiki page referenced in one of
the issue's comments and the intrinsic changes I have made.
The product installation folder is more or less a form of the
$PRODUCTNAME + [major version number]. E.g.:
- Windows: "Apache OpenOffice 3"
- Linux: "apache_openoffice3"
On Linux platforms we have also the basis installation folder. It name
is found in /main/instsetoo_native/util/openoffice.lst
The user profile folder is more or less $PRODUCTNAME/[major version
number]/
The Windows registry keys and values can be found in module main/scp2/
I hope that helps a little bit.
I was thinking about the name and here I mean the name that is used for
the folder etc. The name is used in the help, in tools option, in the
menu...
We changed "OpenOffice.org" to "Apache OpenOffice" so good so far. But
would it be nicer to shorten the folder, menu entries, ... to simply
OpenOffice
Folders
Linux: /opt/openoffice4
Mac: OpenOffice.app
Windows: OpenOffice 4
or even OpenOffice4, avoiding a space in the directory name, a source
of much pain in Windows.
even when I nearly don't use any Windows, I support to prevent any error
prone file and directory naming - which was proven many time in the
past, IMHO.

OpenOffice instead of hundreds of "Apache OpenOffice"
The idea is that the project and product is called Apache OpenOffice but
in practice we would use in the product the short from OpenOffice. The
intro, start center, about can of course use images where we use "Apache
OpenOffice".
Well it's just an idea and I know it would require some further work but
now would be the time for it. I believe legally should it be ok today
but it have to checked to be safe.
What's your opinion?
