Re: [dev] Seeking help on Ubuntu 6.10 OOo v. 2.0.4 for starting OOo via Java
Hi Caio Tiago, thank you *very* much, your directions worked right out of the book! ;) First I deinstalled the Ubuntu OOo, then followed your instructions and was able to install the genuine OOo from the OOo homepage, getting the standard installation tree on the /opt branch. Could get the Java program to run from the command line, ie. bootstrapping OOo worked! [However, the Extension manager on the tools menu does not work either in this version; it does from the commandline, though, ie. unopkg works there.] Again, thank you *very* much for your kind and exact help! ---rony P.S.: Will take another look into the OOo installation as coming from Ubuntu (also Suse, I found out). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [dev] Seeking help on Ubuntu 6.10 OOo v. 2.0.4 for starting OOo via Java
Hi Jim, You should get the Software Development Kit from your distribution or from http://api.openoffice.org, there are examples in SDK/examples/DevelopersGuide/FirstSteps This assumes, that the Java program I use would not work. However, it is a simple test-program which has been working like a charm, and which I have been using to make sure that the environment for Java is set up correctly, such that I am assured that problems in developing apps do not stem from a wrong environment. --- Caio Tiago Oliveria hit the nail right on the top and I could successfully get and install the genuine OOo from the OOo homepage (kudos to him) !

[dev] Little update (Re: [dev] Seeking help on Ubuntu 6.10 OOo v. 2.0.4 for starting OOo via Java
Hi there, just wanted to report that the genuine OOo 2.1 can be invoked via Java from the command line, whereas the Ubuntu version cannot. Did remove the genuine OOo 2.1 and re-installed the Ubuntu OOo 2.0.4 version (the latest they have). The Ubuntu version places the binaries into /usr/lib/openoffice/program and the Java support to /usr/share/java/openoffice. Setting CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH+PATH to their respective settings does throw a com.sun.star.comp.helper.BootstrapException (bootstrap cannot find office executable). Could it be that they have no test case for running OOo from the commandline using Java ? Could that really be the case?? Or is there something that I might still oversee, which is important for the Ubuntu version but not for the genuine OOo distribution?

I am running oOo 2.1 on ubuntu... I am running the standard jdk 1.5.08 installation... everything works fine for me. I noticed that i had to explicitly enable Java in oOo after the installation, by going to tools-options-java and expicitly selecting a JVM there maybe that is the step you are missing?

I noticed you were setting a whole lot of classpaths i would suggest you get hold of netbeans 6 milestone 5 IDE, and install the openoffice development plugin on top of that. It takes a lot of pain out of the openoffice development process.by detecting and setting up environment variables and so on - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [dev] Little update (Re: [dev] Seeking help on Ubuntu 6.10 OOo v. 2.0.4 for starting OOo via Java
Hello Rony:
I used your code to successfully build and execute an openoffice UNO
client application.
(See the attached code).
i executed the jar file from the command line using:
java -jar helloworld.jar
and it launched openoffice writer and wrote the hellow world text into
the editor windwo
I am running ubuntu edgy, openoffice 2.1 , openoffice 2.1 SDK (in
/opt/openoffice.org2.1_sdk), jdk 1.5.08
I built the code using Netbeans (using the openoffice wizard, by
choosing OpenOffice UNO/Client Application as the project option).
