support for Open / Libre / Neo Office missing #1

Open loveencounterflow opened 10 years ago

just saw your project and read that you plan on supporting OpenOfficeOrg / Apache OpenOffice (AOO) through the UNO interface. i did CoffeeLibre a while ago because i needed scripting in a spreadsheet application; basically, i built some CoffeeScript / JavaScript libraries that abstract from the utter insanity that is the AOO 'API' and let you write more concise code.

while the code is quite geared for the purpose and not very generic in itself, it is maybe still of interest to you. There's also screenshots, a general discussion of the vicissitudes of Java as used inside AOO, why you should ditch your pre-installed Ubuntu OpenOffice, and links to sites that have sample AOO macros (indispensable to get started). feel free to open an issue over at CoffeeLibre Issues if you have any kind of question that doesn't fit into the current thread.
