The document provides an overview of the OOEclipse project which allows developing OpenOffice extensions using the Eclipse IDE. It discusses the Eclipse plugin architecture that OOEclipse uses to integrate OpenOffice support. It describes how the project adds support for the C++ language, the current state of the C++ support, and planned next steps to improve the user experience and code generation. It also provides a demonstration of the OOEclipse IDE and discusses other features and the project's development.

1. OOEclipse now speaks C++ Fresh news from the project Cédric Bosdonnat Software developer [email_address]

2. Agenda OOEclipse overview Eclipse development basics

3. OOEclipse architecture

4. Supporting a new language Support of C++ State of the support

5. What is next

6. Demonstration Project news Other features

7. Project's life

8. Who am I? In the OpenOffice.org community since 2005 Started developing on OOEclipse with Gsoc 2005

9. Organized OOoCon 2006 in Lyon

10. Basic macro & Java extension developer during some time Writer hacker Working at Novell since end of 2008

11. Fixing the docx import

12. Started some work around AutoCorrection for french

13. Other small writer stuffs A happy father

14. OOEclipse overview

15. Eclipse development basics Everything is plugin Eclipse runtime

16. Every other feature is one (or more) plugin(s) Language supports: JDT (Java), CDT (C++)

17. Team work: CVS, SVN, Git plugins A plugin's content An activator class (un)activating the plugin

18. A manifest file for the dependencies

19. A plugin.xml file Lists the extension points used

20. Makes the link with the plugin code

21. Sample plugin.xml fragment

22. OOEclipse architecture Several Eclipse plugins Core plugin Implements the common UNO features

23. Defines a language extension point Language plugins Uses the language extension point

24. Add other language specific features UNO Clients

25. Run / debug configuration Code generation uno-skeletonmaker Tool from the OpenOffice.org SDK

26. Used by the other IDEs Core Java Cpp

27. Supporting a new language Create a new Eclipse plugin Add the core plugin in the dependencies

28. Implement the Language extension point Check list before implementation OpenOffice.org support Existence of a UNO bridge (of course)

29. Language supported by uno-skeletonmaker ( only C++ and Java currently ) Eclipse support Existence of Eclipse plugins for general support of the language

30. Possibility to extend these plugins

31. Support of C++

32. State of the support C++ Extension Project configuration CDT documentation is quite seldom

33. Creating a separate project for the UNO types includes and libraries links

34. The C++ skeleton for the service is generated Project is building UNO C++ client Project creation Standard C++ project with the proper configuration

35. Reusing the separate project for the UNO types includes Execution & Cheat sheet No clean way to automatically add the correct environment variables

36. What's next ? Complete the packaging The uno-skeletonmaker generated code isn't flexible Can't support several services

37. Would need to have all the implementation in a single file Changes on the uno-skeletonmaker Add a new registration command generate the registration methods in a separate file for all the services

38. Could reuse the existing utility methods generated for each implementation Remove the current registration methods User experience Add help pointing to UNO C++ wiki pages

39. Demonstration

40. Project news

41. Other features Java UNO Client Extended the Java project creation wizard

42. Project configuration Normal Java project

43. Adding some classes from JODConverter in a JAR file

44. Adding the OpenOffice.org libraries description.xml editor Developed during a HackWeek at Novell

45. File generated in each new project

46. Simple form editor

47. Editor screenshot

48. Project's life Sources moved in ooo-build Git Moved from CVS to Git Browse sources: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ooo-build/contrib/ooeclipse

49. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/ooo-build/contrib/ooeclipse Show OOEclipse as an independent project No synchronization with OpenOffice.org release

50. Independent Git repository New configurable uno-skeletonmaker POC Goals Ability to add a language with only template files

51. Possiblity to tweak the templates to fit coding style Quick progress
