Hi Yacine,
I'll do what I can to help you, though I'm relatively new to OpenOffice.
I am a very experienced developer, just not on this program.
Are you planning to use a Microsoft Windows system for building it? If
so, you need to read
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step#Windows_7.2C_Windows_8.1
The build process for OpenOffice is not simple. The code has to run on
many different systems so there is a pre-compilation configuration
process that runs scripts to prepare for your system. Do not assume that
what you do for smaller, simpler programs will work for AOO.
Start following the steps, carefully and methodically. If anything goes
wrong, ask for help.

Hi
Thank you for the reply. I've read link but i find it confusing and I'm not a
developer although i do have some very basic experience.
Basically I need answers for the following:
(1) Which Window based SDK can edit OO source files?
(2) My personal objectives for OO is to be able to:
(2.a) Edit and redesign the graphical interface (menus, icons, ...) and change
default settings in submenus, etc. (2.b) Recompile and create an installer
program
(3) Which project file should i open to do the above?
I would appreciate any guidance that will help with the above.
Best regards
Yacine

We have had mentoring programs in the past but most of the mentorage is done on
the list mainly. Not everyone knows everything that happens on the code so
asking the dev list allows to point more on the domains of the level of code.
For starter I would suggest to read on the wiki development pages including how
the code is organized, and worked on.
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Development
Also try to compile the AOO version so your patches can be tested locally.
