[libreoffice-users] which docx format to recommend to MSO Word users?

2016-09-08 Thread Zenaan Harkness 
Have been trying to determine what to suggest as preferred/ default file
save format for users stuck in MSO Word, wrt feature support and LO
cross compatibility:

.docx actually has two save file type options for the one extension in
MSO Word:
 - Word Document
 - Strict Open XML Document

I have been searching, reading Wikipedia on the format,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenXML
and as yet have not been able to find definite answers:

a) which is best for LO compatibility ?

b) are there any more/less features in one format or the other:
   - in LO ?
   - in Word ?


The strict format is an ISO standard and is younger, and may have some
issues on that basis:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83571

But perhaps it is better anyway?

Thanks for any insight and links you can share,
Zenaan

What operating systems will you deploy LibreOffice onto?

[libreoffice-users] LO 5.2 sdk patch - java extensions makefile bug sdk/classes/settings/std.mk

2016-08-18 Thread Zenaan Harkness 
Just getting started learning how to write a Java extension to
libreoffice (on Debian fwiw).

--- 
I find Eclipse and
https://github.com/smehrbrodt/libreoffice-starter-extension.git and
https://github.com/LibreOffice/loeclipse.git

to be overly opaque and hard to fathom for my liking (I've had to live
on command lines a lot, and this environment seems generally more
debuggable and controllable (got stuck moving a class around in the
first project above)),
--- 

so the raw LO sdk is what I'm trying to ride now.

Got stuck needing a simple fix, for the following bug:

$ ... set up LO sdk as per ./setsdkenv_unix ...
$ cd sdk/examples/DevelopersGuide/FirstSteps
$ make FirstStepsExamples
...

$ make FirstUnoContact.run
"/usr/bin/java" -Dcom.sun.star.lib.loader.unopath="/opt/l/libreoffice/program" 
-jar 
/home/me/lo/llo/out/libreoffice5.2_sdk/LINUXexample.out/class/FirstStepsExamples/FirstUnoContact.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
com/sun/star/lib/loader/Loader$1
   at com.sun.star.lib.loader.Loader.getCustomLoader(Loader.java:177)
   at com.sun.star.lib.loader.Loader.main(Loader.java:127)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.star.lib.loader.Loader$1
   at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381)
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424)
   at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:331)
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)
   ... 2 more
make: *** [FirstUnoContact.run] Error 1
Makefile:96: recipe for target 'FirstUnoContact.run' failed


So this is a simple problem, the makefile includes most required files
into the jar file, but not the missing
"com/sun/star/lib/loader/Loader$1.class"

The current settings/std.mk recipe includes each required file from the
same directory, one by one, but omits this one. Just adding all the
files from that dir (which are all needed to be in the jar file) is
better (will catch any additions/ removals in future versions
automatically).

Here's the git diff patch which makes things work properly:

diff --git a/settings/std.mk b/settings/std.mk
index 9fe1e79..ac2d4aa 100644
--- a/settings/std.mk

+-C $(CLASSES_DIR) $(SQM)com/sun/star/lib/loader/$(SQM) \
 -C $(CLASSES_DIR) $(SQM)win/unowinreg.dll$(SQM)


If you need a different format, for this or future patches,
please let me know.

NOTE: Currently I'm just working in a local lo sdk directory created
from the distribution tar file. I intend to clone a full sdk repo when I
have adequate network access to do so. IN OTHER WORDS, the git hashes
above are most likely incorrect/ not related to the actual repo - please
tell me how to create a "repo neutral" patch.

Thanks,
Zenaan
