Checklist for Writing Extensions
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
This page gives a brief overview about what is important when developing an extension.
- Use the
.oxt
file extension and provide description.xml. Look here why you should use.oxt
. - Provide an extension identifier in the description.xml
- Provide a version in the description.xml.
- Specify the dependencies in the description.xml. For example, if your extension requires a 'minimal version' of OOo then use the OpenOffice.org-minimal-version dependency.
See Extension Dependencies, Minimal Support for Extension Dependencies and Extension Dependency OpenOffice.org-minimal-version for more information.
- Optionally add a license to your extension. See Simple License for Extensions for more information.
- Optionally allow for the online update of future versions of your extension. See Online Update for Extensions for more information. Also read Creating update information for extensions.
