LibreOffice Extension boilerplate
|
||||
# LibreOffice Starter Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
This repository contains some boilerplate code and config you need to get started to build your own LibreOffice Extension.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use this project as a starting point to write your own extension for LibreOffice.
|
||||
|
||||
## Get started
|
||||
|
||||
# Install [LibreOffice](http://www.libreoffice.org/download) & [LibreOffice SDK](http://www.libreoffice.org/download) (5.0 or greater)
|
||||
# Install [Eclipse](http://www.eclipse.org/) & the [LOEclipse plugin](https://github.com/LibreOffice/loeclipse/#installation)
|
||||
# [Download](https://github.com/smehrbrodt/libreoffice-starter-plugin/archive/master.zip) this starter project & unzip it
|
||||
# Import the project in Eclipse (File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace)
|
||||
# Let Eclipse know the paths to LibreOffice & the SDK (Project->Properties->UNO Properties)
|
||||
# Setup Run Configuration
|
||||
## Go to Run->Run Configurations
|
||||
## Create a new run configuration of the type "LibreOffice Application"
|
||||
## Select the project
|
||||
## Run!
|
||||
## *Hint: Show the error log to view the output of the run configuration (Window->Show View->Error Log)*
|
||||
# The extension will be installed in LibreOffice and you will see a toolbar and a menu entry have been added to Writer.
|
||||
|
||||
## Development Hints
|
||||
* The entry point is in [source/org/libreoffice/example/comp/StarterProjectImpl](https://github.com/smehrbrodt/libreoffice-starter-plugin/blob/master/source/org/libreoffice/example/comp/StarterProjectImpl.java).
|
||||
* Toolbar items and menu entries are defined in [registry/org/openoffice/Office/Addons.xcu](https://github.com/smehrbrodt/libreoffice-starter-plugin/blob/master/registry/org/openoffice/Office/Addons.xcu).
|
||||
* Shortcuts are defined in [registry/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu](https://github.com/smehrbrodt/libreoffice-starter-plugin/blob/master/registry/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu).
|
||||
* The position of the toolbar is defined in [registry/org/openoffice/Office/UI/WriterWindowState.xcu](https://github.com/smehrbrodt/libreoffice-starter-plugin/blob/master/registry/org/openoffice/Office/UI/WriterWindowState.xcu).
|
||||
* The dialog shown when clicking "Action One" is in [dialog/ActionOneDialog.xdl]. The dialog itself contains information how to edit it.
|
||||
* The [DialogHelper](https://github.com/smehrbrodt/libreoffice-starter-plugin/blob/master/source/org/libreoffice/example/helper/DialogHelper.java) contains lots of helper methods to work with the dialog.
|
||||
* Now go on customizing the extension to your needs. You'll find lots of information in the [OpenOffice Wiki](https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions_development).
