Summary: Integrate Open Office Editor

Initial Comment:
Here is some documentation I dug up from the OpenOffice
SDK. There is an OfficeBean Java Bean component in the SDK.

From the documentation:
"With the OfficeBean, a developer can easily write Java
applications, harnessing the power of OpenOffice.org.
It encapsulates a connection to a locally running
OpenOffice.org process, and hides the complexity of
establishing and maintaining that connection from the
developer.
It also allows embedding of OpenOffice.org documents
within the Java environment. It provides an interface
the developer can use to obtain Java AWT windows into
which the backend OpenOffice.org process draws its
visual representation. These windows are then plugged
into the UI hierarchy of the hosting Java application.
The embedded document is controlled from the Java
environment, since the OfficeBean allows developers to
access the complete OpenOffice.org API from their Java
environment giving them full control over the embedded
document, its appearance and behavior."

The documentation for this can be found here:
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/OfficeBean/OfficeBean.htm

I have not tried it as yet, but it looks promising.

Anil.

I just had a very pleasnt suprise :-)

I reinstalled Eclipse 3.1 and all relevant plugins for
Burrokeet.

I started eclipse with the "-clean" switch.

I then had occasion to open an sxw file from withi Eclipse.
Of course, I expected OpenOffice to open externally, but
now, it opened as an editor within Eclipse!

The eclipse menus changed to the OOo menus and I could
proceed as normal.

Note:

This only works if you have Open Office V2 installed (still
in beta)

There is a Google Summer of Code project that is focused on
OpenOffice.org integration with Eclipse.

It is still in early stages and I have not tested it yet but
the code is at 
http://api.openoffice.org/source/browse/api/ooeclipseintegration

I've looked at this but am having trouble getting it to
work. Will come back to this when we have more core
functionality in the CP editor.

Well, this should be simple, but I can't even get the
supplied demo's to work on my machine at present. I'll come
back to this soon.
