Hi all, After some mails exchanges here is a summary of what options we have for a connector with Alfresco.
* Status of the OOo plugin from Westernacher * Using JDIC to launch web-browser, but that project hasn't moved in the past 2 years. Using SWT org.eclipse.swt.browser package could be an option, but SWT is known to have some threading issues with LibreOffice / OOo. * The hackers who wrote that plugin aren't interested in working on that anymore. * Would need some work on the Alfresco side to get some nice webscripts working for IE and other browsers. * Status of the CMIS plugin from Dan Corneanu * Browse/open/save/create UCB commands are handled * Pretty annoying to debug with the mix of C++ and Java * No *ucbhelper* port in the Java Uno binding * Developing Java extensions with OOo / LO is still a challenge (mostly my fault for not progressing recently on the OOEclipse project) * Written in Java... not ideal when we want to reduce Java deps. We think that working on a CMIS content provider is the best thing to do as it would provide access to Alfresco, but also to any other CMIS-enabeld server. We have several options here to start a project like this one: * Start writing a new C++ CMIS client library and use it in LO * Reuse the Python cmislib from Apache Chemistry project. For the persons interested in the * Dan Corneanu and David Nelson are willing to help hacking on the project * I'ld like to help, but I'll need to find some time to work on it among all the sw bug fixes and features. * Florian Müller (Alfresco and Apache Chemistry chair) is interested in seeing a CMIS connector for LibreOffice. I hope to have properly summarized the talks there. Don't hesitate to complete them if you see something missing.
