UNO API of LibreOffice easy and understandable - Nice Office Access
NOA-libre is an object-oriented lightweight Java wrapper around LibreOffice UNO API, providing higher-level abstraction of many UNO interfaces. It is a fork of Ubion's NOA (Nice Office Access) built around API of OpenOffice.org.
This again is a fork of LibreOffice/noa-libre.
Find documentation in the Wiki.
There are also a number of examples in the examples folder.
To build NOA-libre, maven-ant-tasks is needed to pull LibreOffice Java artifacts from
Maven central repository. Install it into your ant's lib/ directory or adjust ${ant.lib} property in build.xml accordingly to
point to maven-ant-tasks location.
Additionally, you need swt.jar added to your build path. Download the matching version for your operating system from http://maven-eclipse.github.io/maven and add it to the build path (e.g. place it in lib folder.
Build with Maven. Use do.skipXXX properties to enable/disable some plugins.
Please read Release Notes if you are upgrading from older versions of NOA-libre
This is a fork heaving this wonderful project into Maven universe. SWT becomes an optional dependency, may be used with IDesktopServiceSWT / DesktopServiceSWT.
Differences to Origin:
- Mavenized
- Build with Java 11
- Linked to Libreoffice 7.x
- Migrated back to bootstrap-connector
- SWT support via NativeViewHandle without explicit SWT dependency
- ApplicationAssistant functionality is mostly deactivated on Windows. Need to reimplement registry access first (unfortunately com.github.sarxos:windows-registry-util0.3 is not compatible with Java 9 upwards)
- Using IOfficeApplication.NOA_NATIVE_LIB_SKIP system property you can skip loading of native libs in NativeView.class (and do it yourself then of course)
- Solves "The default package '.' is not permitted by the Import-Package syntax" problem when used with maven-bundle-plugin
- Removes GPLv3 threat by removing ag.ion.bion.helper.TextHandler. In case you need that functionality, have a look on origin and reimplement it yourself.
