Howto Turn Your Favorite Programming Language into an AOO Macro Language Event ApacheCon Europe 2014 Submission Type Presentation Category Developer Biography Rony Flatscher is a member at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and works as a professor for Information Systems at the WU Vienna. He is the author of BSF4ooRexx a cross-platform package that bridges the programming language ooRexx and Java. It includes support for Apache OpenOffice (AOO) turning ooRexx into a macro language for AOO. Abstract Apache OpenOffice (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. Audience The audience is interested in the Apache OpenOffice (AOO) scripting framework and/or adding programming languages to Apache OpenOffice as macro languages. Experience Level Any Benefits to the Ecosystem AOO may be enhanced by many new programming languages that can be used and dispatched as macro languages.
