This description.xml contains these information:

  • The version is 1.0.
  • The identifier is: com.mycompany.extensions.my_extension
  • The extension can only be installed on Windows systems (x86 CPU) and Solaris Systems (SPARC CPU).
  • It only works with OpenOffice.org 2.2 and higher.
  • It supports the update feature and update information can be obtained at the specified address.
  • When this extension is installed as shared extension then a license text is being displayed. Different localizations of the license text are available.
  • There are two localized versions of a publisher name and URL (since OOo 2.4).
  • There are two links to release notes in different languages (since OOo 2.4).
  • There is a localized display name (since OOo 2.4). That is, in an english version of OOo the Extension Manager will show the string: My great extension.

Please note that the <publisher> and <release-notes> elements in a description.xml are currently not used by the Extension Manager. However, when uploading the extension to the extensions repository (http://extensions.services.openoffice.org) then these elements are used for generating update information. When the Extension Manager looks for updates then it displays these information (OOo 2.4).
