Howto Turn Your Favorite Programming Language into an AOO Macro Language
Event ApacheCon Europe 2014
Submission Type Presentation
Category Developer
Biography
Rony Flatscher is a member at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and
works as a professor for
Information Systems at the WU Vienna. He is the author of BSF4ooRexx a
cross-platform package
that bridges the programming language ooRexx and Java. It includes support
for Apache OpenOffice
(AOO) turning ooRexx into a macro language for AOO.
Abstract
Apache OpenOffice (AOO) defines a scripting framework that can be exploited
to add any
programming language to Apache OpenOffice as a macro language. This
presentation introduces the
necessary overview and knowhow to become able to assess the effort to add
your own favorite
programming language to AOO. Although the AOO scripting framework is
implemented in Java it is
possible to add non-Java-implemented programming languages as demonstrated
with the programming
ooRexx which is itself implemented in C++. In addition all scripting
languages that support
Java's "javax.script" framework could be added to AOO using AOO's scripting
framework.
Audience
The audience is interested in the Apache OpenOffice (AOO) scripting
framework and/or adding
programming languages to Apache OpenOffice as macro languages.
Experience Level
Any
Benefits to the Ecosystem
AOO may be enhanced by many new programming languages that can be used and
dispatched as macro
languages.
Status New
