Amenel,

I am cross posting to dev since the original message didn't get copied:

A specific boolean variable can guard a code section so no problem there either.

Re: [EXTENSIONS] how is the extension constructor called

Posted by John D'Orazio <jo...@cappellaniauniroma3.org>.
Just wondering what would be considered the "fix" for this, someone
mentioned implementing more logic in the Netbeans plugin. Would a plausible
solution be to have Netbeans generate each add-in as a singleton? Or is
there maybe a better fix from the open office end in the way it implements
the java plugins? I have a hunch this could be the case, because I don't
see why the add-in class should be invoked / instantiated as many times as
there are menu items and toolbar items. Seems like there should be a better
integration scheme...

Re: [EXTENSIONS] how is the extension constructor called

Posted by John D'Orazio <jo...@cappellaniauniroma3.org>.
Does this mean it's a bug in the way open office is implementing the java
add-ins generated by the NetBeans plugin? (I'm the one that opened the
issue about this in the forum, seeing I'm trying to create a Writer add-in
using the NetBeans plugin.)

I was checking in to a new issue opened on the netbeans plugin. [1]

For every menu item for the AddOn in the current context (ex Writer),
the constructor is called then the Menu is first clicked.
If there are 2 menu items the constructor is ran twice.
This only happens on the first time per context opened.

Is this expected behavior?

Is the constructor called from office?

If so it's not a bug in the plugin.

And this is the preferred way to do it, the NB plugin wizard generates a
very basic and simplified skeleton only. There were plans to extend it
and include a little bit more logic but it was never implemented.
