Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 66689
Dev Guide : Add-on documentation has obsolete parts
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:10:15 UTC
Issue 65647 says that pkgchk is still referred to, in various part of chapter 4.7.3 of the Developer's Guide. I found other obsolete points in chapter 4.7.3 (found in SDK 2.0.3): - section Overview : "You can create toolbar icons in the Function Bar, which is usually the topmost toolbar. Below you see two toolbar items, an icon for Function 1 and a text item for Function 2:" This is incorrect because each add-on has its own toolbar which can be anchored anywhere. - section Guidelines: "Toolbar • Only important functions should be integrated into the toolbar." IMHO this remark is obsolete in 2.0.x - section Configuration: The first paragraph and the warning paragraph should be updated since now each add-on has its own toolbar.

jsc -> cd: can you please review the sub-chapter for Addons and can adapt it to the latest features. I think the described things are not the only changes and the whole feature provides a lot more. Please contact me to work on the latst doc.
cc jsc
jsc -> cd: i forgot to change the owner, please check
cd: Yes, there are several obsolete points in the Developer's Guide Add-on chapter which is based on OOo 1.1.x. Have to look for some time to adapt this chapter to the reality.
because of time constraints this issue won't be fixed for 2.3.
cd: Due to limited time I have to move this issue to OOo 2.4. I hope that the new Developer's Guide using the OpenOffice.org wiki gives us more flexibility. New features are already described on the framework team wiki page.
cd: Still waiting for the wiki based Developer's Guide. The target should only reflect that this issue is not really bound to a certain release but that I have to update the documentation. I will start to update the documentation as soon
