OpenOffice.org Add-in for SugarCRM :
------------------------------------
This Java OpenOffice.org Plugin provides seamless integration of common OpenOffice.org applications (Writer, Base, Calc,Math,Draw) with SugarCRM system. It helps managers who actively use these applications to organize their work more effectively. Automated storage of data into SugarCRM ensures full archiving of communication history and important documents related with Opportunities, Cases, Leads, Projects, Bugs , Accounts and Documents.


System Requirements :
---------------------
- OpenOffice.org versions 2.x , 3.0 and 3.1
- Java Runtime environment version 5 or higher (preferably use java 6). 

Background Information :
------------------------
The OpenOffice.org Developers Guide defines A OpenOffice.org OXT Extension as follows :
"An extension is a file intended for the distribution of code and / or data which is to be used by OpenOffice.org. The file has the file extension "oxt" (formerly .uno.pkg and .zip), and it acts as a container for various items, such as libraries, JARs, configuration data, type libraries, Basic libraries, Basic dialogs, etc. Before OpenOffice.org can use any content of the extension, it needs to be installed by the Extension Manager.
An extension should also contain a description.xml and must contain a directory META-INF (all uppercase). The META-INF directory contains a manifest.xml which lists all items and their media-type."
The pkgchk tool unzips all packages found in the package directory into the cache directory, preserving the file structure of the oxt file. It also copies all single files recognized in the package directory to the cache directory.
The configuration files that were created for the addon, such as protocol handler,jobs, and user interface definition are added to the root of the oxt file. 

Installation guidelines :
-------------------------
-Before you install the Extension package, make absolutely sure there are no running instances of OpenOffice.org.
The pkchk tool recognizes a running OpenOffice in a local installation, but not in a networked installation.
Installing into a running office installation might cause inconsistencies and destroy your installation!

-download .oxt binary file and save it anywhere on your local hard disk. 
-double click the .oxt file . When prompted by dialog box choose 'yes' to install the OpenOffice Sugarcrm extension.
-restart OpenOffice.org. you will notice the new menu entry "sugarcrm Addon" (and also a tool bar button for sugarcrm icons) from where you can launch the Plugin.
