Eclipse Module Export UNO -> OOo package does not proceed

Hi,

I'm fairly new on the field and wanted to start developing an extension 
to be used in Writer. I started on reading the wiki and just tried to 
follow the tutorial here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/JavaEclipseTuto
Unfortunately when it comes to exporting the module in Eclipse File -> 
Export -> UNO -> OpenOffice.org package, nothing happens. From my pov I 
have two possibilities now: ask if sb can help troubleshoot or build the 
module somehow manually.
Since I am a beginner, I am not restricted in writing the extension in 
Java. Another possibility I considered is to write in python. I chose 
Java because it seemed to me the more stable and documented approach to 
get in touch. I'm free for suggestions regarding the language.

My system:
Win10 x64
OO 4.12.9782
OO SDK 4.12.9782
(note: OO installed with x86 instead of x64)

What I tried:
- reinstall of all features
- changed the eclipse plugin from 
(http://www.openoffice.org/api/Projects/EclipseIntegration/dev-update/site.xml) 
to (http://drake79.users.sourceforge.net/ooeclipse/site) due to the 
issue described here 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17980315/openoffice-eclipse-plugin-doesnt-recognize-openoffice-sdk)
- reinstalled OO and removed the spaces in path (I saw a hint during 
installation stating that spaces in paths might break the build)

Disclaimer: I don't know whether this is the appropriate newsgroup to 
post such kind of questions. Please give hints if there might be a more 
suitable place. Please tell me if you need further info.

Thanks in advance!
Greetings

Hi Carl,

thanks for your reply, that helps me a lot! I'll give Netbeans a shot 
and see if I can fix the eclipse sources accordingly.

Greetings

Hi Christian,

I admit not knowing much about the Eclipse plugin.

There is a good chance the AOO 4.x changes broke it due to the SDK 
directory changes.

If you want to try to fix the eclipse plugin you could look through the 
changes made to the NetBeans plugin.

I updated the NetBeans plugin for these changes under bugzilla issue 
123266 here [1].

Or you could use the NetBeans plugin. It is available through the 
NetBeans plugins UI. or download from NetBeans.org. [2]

After you generate an extension project you could probably import it to 
Eclipse as it's an Apache Ant based build but I've never tried.
