As mentor for this easy hack I'm trying to outline what needs to be done for this easy hack: First of all you need a libreoffice build as explained at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Native_Build . For this task you benefit very much from a build with junit so that you can run both the java based api tests and also the c++ based cppunit tests. Then the second step is to pick one of the existent java based api tests. Best you start with a simple one from sc (calc core) where I can help you. Porting one of the tests normally consists of two steps: First writing a test for the interface and secondly using these test methods in an test that is written against a specific implementation of the interface. An easy example is XNamed ([1]) which is used for example in ScNamedRangeObj ([2] as part of the XNamedRange interface) and the test code for the XNamed interface in test ([3],[4]) and then a test against the implementation ([5]). You should start with such an easy example and when you are comfortable with writing such tests you can transform one of the failing java based tests and debug the c++ based test to fix the underlying problem. You find the java based test code for both the interfaces and the services in qaDevOOo/tests/ If you have more questions or need more help please write a mail or ask on #libreoffice-dev.
