Having created an oxt in the past that adds a scripting language (ooRexx) to AOO as a macro language taking advantage of AOO's Java based scripting framework, I have been wondering whether it may be interesting for supporters of other scripting languages to learn how to do that, giving a presentation along the lines "Howto Turn Your Favorite Programming Language into an AOO Macro Language Using AOO's Scripting Framework".
The abstract might read something like: "Apache Open Office (AOO) defines a scripting framework that can be exploited to add any programming language to Apache OpenOffice as a macro language. This presentation introduces the necessary overview and knowhow to become able to assess the effort to add your own favorite programming language to AOO. Although the AOO scripting framework is implemented in Java it is possible to add non-Java-implemented programming languages as demonstrated with the programming ooRexx which is itself implemented in C++. In addition all scripting languages that support Java's "javax.script" framework could be added to AOO using AOO's scripting framework." One idea in this context would be to get maybe enough interested parties to even create an AOO subproject that is aimed at supporting JSR-223 scripting languages out of the box. "JSR-223" scripting languages are all those scripting languages that can bed used by the Java "javax.script" framework. Any comments, ideas, feedback to this idea? ---rony --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
