[EXTENSIONS]: problems with uploading oxt to http://aoo-extensions.sourceforge.net/en/extension/

[Liu Da Li]

Dear all,
I build an extension with Netbean6.8 + OpenOffice API plugin, All functions
in the extension work well on the last developer snapshot build.
But when I try to upload it to AOO extension site(
http://aoo-extensions.sourceforge.net/en/extension/upload/), a error
occur.
It said in the upload page: No extension file was provided.
The attachments are the description xml file and issue screenshot.
Do anyone meet this issue before? How to fix it?

[Extension]Issues on using SWT library on MAC

[Liu Da Li]

Dear all,

I am trying to build a AOO extension with SWT library.
The extension has a menu, when I click the menu, a SWT shell will be
opened.
The extension works fine on windows and linux. But on MAC, it seems that
something is broken:
When I click the menu, the SWT shell be opened.Do something in the shell
window and close the shell.(All things are fine now.)
I can't quit AOO in normal way now, Command +Q, or Openoffice.org->Quit.
The menus below Openoffice.org don't work anymore.
It seems that the SWT JAVA library, block some messages.

Do anyone know about this issue?
Is there a way to avoid it?

Re: how export write to Macromedia Flash swf format?

[Liu Da Li]

It seems that there doesn't exist such filter in Openoffice,export write to

Re: Windows 8 Compatibility?

[Liu Da Li]

There are so many items in the Windows 8 certification list, I try to go
through it and find that there is maybe about 43 TODO items for us to do
the certification. Most of the TODO items  are just a verification jobs,
but some code change jobs maybe are need to do for the sections 4.1,5.1,
9.1, 10.2,11.7.
I have try to verify some items, the result be marked at green.
Herbert1 also go through the list, I put his result at the end of each
section.

Items which maybe need to change some codes

4.1 Your app must handle critical shutdowns appropriately
In a critical shutdown, apps that return FALSE to WM_QUERYENDSESSION will
be sent WM_ENDSESSION and closed, while those that time out in response to
WM_QUERYENDSESSION will be terminated. .
5.1 Your app must properly implement a clean, reversible installation
If the installation fails, the app should be able to roll it back and
restore the machine to its previous state.
9.1 Your app must have a manifest that defines execution levels and tells
the operating system what privileges the app requires in order to run
The app manifest marking only applies to EXEs, not DLLs. This is because
UAC does not inspect DLLs during process creation. It is also worth noting
that UAC rules do not apply to Windows Services. The manifest can be either
embedded or external.
To create a manifest, create a file with the name .exe.manifest
and store it in the same directory as the EXE. Note that any external
manifest is ignored if the app has an internal manifest. For example:
 
10.2 Your app must avoid starting automatically on startup
For example, your app should not set any of the following;
Registry run keys HKLM and, or HKCU under
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Registry run keys HKLM, and or HKCU under
Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion
Start Menu AllPrograms > STARTUP
11.7 Your app must check other terminal service (TS) sessions for existing
instances of the app
Note: If an app does not support multiple user sessions or remote access,
it must clearly state this when launched from this kind of session.
--
Full TODO items.

1. Apps are compatible and resilient
1.1 Your app must not take a dependency on Windows compatibility modes,
AppHelp message, and or any other compatibility fixes
TODO 1.1 : Need verification , don't depend.
1.2 Your app must not take a dependency on the VB6 runtime
TODO 1.2 : Need verification , don't depend.
1.3 Your app must not load arbitrary DLLs to intercept Win32 API calls
using HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
AppInit_dlls.
TODO 1.3 : Need verification , don't load.
Herbert1: Win8 Cert Section 1 : ok

2. Apps must adhere to Windows Security Best Practices
2.1 Your app must use strong and appropriate ACLs to secure executable files
TODO 2.1 : Need verification
2.2 Your app must use strong and appropriate ACLs to secure directories
TODO 2.2 : Need verification
2.3 Your app must use strong and appropriate ACLs to secure registry keys
TODO 2.3 : Need verification
2.4 Your app must use strong and appropriate ACLs to secure directories
that contain objects
TODO 2.4 : Need verification
2.5 Your app must reduce non-administrator access to services that are
vulnerable to tampering
TODO 2.5 : Need verification
2.6 Your app must prevent services with fast restarts from restarting more
than twice every 24 hours
TODO 2.6 : Need verification
Herbert1: Win8 Cert Section 2 : if the MSI based installer does it it is
fine,we are using nsis-2.46 for building the MSI package but Windows itself
does the installation of the MSI packages

3. Apps support Windows security features
3.1 Your app must not use AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute (APTCA) to
ensure secure access to strong-named assemblies
TODO 3.1 : Need verification,
3.2 Your app must be compiled using the /SafeSEH flag to ensure safe
exceptions handling
TODO 3.2 : Need verification, we use it
3.3 Your app must be compiled using the /NXCOMPAT flag to prevent data
execution
TODO 3.3 : Need verification, we use it
3.4 Your app must be compiled using the /DYNAMICBASE flag for address space
layout randomization (ASLR)
TODO 3.4 : Need verification, we use it
3.5 Your app must not Read/Write Shared PE Sections
TODO 3.5 : Need verification,
Herbert1: Win8 Cert Section 3 : we are running with SafeSEH, NXCOMPAT,
DYNAMICBASE, but the libraries we ship have to be modified to use these
flags too,I'm almost certain that we don't use APTCA,I'm not so sure about
the RW PW Sections, but I guess we do not have any.

4. Apps must adhere to system restart manager messages
4.1 Your app must handle critical shutdowns appropriately
TODO 4.1 : Need verification,
4.2 A GUI app must return TRUE immediately in preparation for a restart
TODO 4.2 : Need verification, we do
4.3 Your app must return 0 within 30 seconds and shut down
TODO 4.3 : Need verific

Re: Windows 8 Compatibility?

[Liu Da Li]

Base on the Windows 8 certification requirements  and Windows App
Certification Kit (ACK) test result.
It seems that there are only five issues need be resolved  to make Apache
OpenOffice can be put on Windows 8 APP Store.
It seems that it's possible to make Apache Openoffice available  on Windows
8 APP Store.
The details is be updated in the wiki page. It also can be used to track
the owner and status of these issue.

On windows, after the the AOO install files be unzipped to desktop.
You can try to call setup.exe with /q from the unzipped folder.

It seems that we handle these system restart manager messages in a right
way.
Anyone can have a double check on this?
Here is the codes in main\vcl\win\source\window\salframe.cxx.

..
LRESULT CALLBACK SalFrameWndProc( HWND hWnd, UINT nMsg, WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam, int& rDef )
{
..
 case WM_QUERYENDSESSION:
if( !bInQueryEnd )
{
// handle queryendsession only once
bInQueryEnd = TRUE;
nRet = !ImplHandleShutDownMsg( hWnd );
rDef = FALSE;

// Issue #16314#: ImplHandleShutDownMsg causes 
a PostMessage in
case of allowing shutdown.
// This posted message was never processed and 
cause Windows XP to
hang after log off
// if there are multiple sessions and the 
current session wasn't
the first one started.
// So if shutdown is allowed we assume that a 
post message was
done and retrieve all
// messages in the message queue and dispatch 
them before we
return control to the system.

if ( nRet )
{
MSG msg;

while( PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, 
PM_REMOVE ) )
{
DispatchMessage( &msg );
}
}
}
else
{
ImplSalYieldMutexAcquireWithWait();
ImplSalYieldMutexRelease();
rDef = TRUE;
}
break;

case WM_ENDSESSION:
if( !wParam )
bInQueryEnd = FALSE; // no shutdown: allow 
query again
nRet = FALSE;
rDef = FALSE;
break;
..

Re: Windows 8 Compatibility?

[Liu Da Li]

When we install Apache openoffice there is a dialog will let you choose
install this application for "all users" or "only for me". If we choose
"for all users" I think these register string will be fine. If we choose
"only for me", should we still write the register string to HKLM, is it a
better way that write the register string to the current user ?

Re: Call for Papers for ApacheCon Europe 2012 now open!

[Liu Da Li]

I have submit one pager on the website, but it was failed to add additional

" ApacheCon EU 2012
Oops, we've had a problem on the server. The web team have been informed
and will be looking into it."
Do anyone meet the same issue?
