Compilation and deployment instruction

All Java interfaces are generated from IDL files with the same name. As long as Java/IDL interfaces are not modified, there is no need for the OpenOffice SDK. But if any interface is modified, then steps 1 to 3 below must be done. Steps 5 to 7 are performed by Maven, but are cited here for completness. Step 8 must be executed on the client machine (users can also use the "Tools / Package manager" menu from OpenOffice GUI).

Tool	Provided with
idlc	OpenOffice SDK
regmerge	OpenOffice SDK
javamaker	OpenOffice SDK
javap	Java SDK
javac	Java SDK
