Runtime check on supported conversion filters

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It's possible to detect all import/export filters supported by OOo at runtime.

We can use this feature to validate the list of default conversions at
startup, disabling the unavailable ones.

For example, when connected to OOo 3.0 OOXML conversions should be enabled,
but when connected to OOo 2.4 they should be disabled.

Attached an initial Python script showing runtime filter detection.

Hi Mirko. I tried running this script, but I get "Connection error". 
I tried to see if I could get it through the java library, and found the link: 
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/FilterFactory.ht
ml
But when I try to import FilterFactory, it cannot find it. Do you why that is? 
Maybe the 3.2.1 version we have don't include that Factory? I couldnt find 
anything in maven which is later

I think you need to manually start OOo with soffice 
"-accept=socket,port=8100;urp;" before running the script. But I created this 
issue almost 3 years ago, things may well have changed since.
