Update the dead hyperlink in openoffice.org?
hi,
when I read the wiki of openoffice.org, found some of the links are dead
now.
for example:
in
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/JavaEclipseTuto
the link of Now click on the *Add* Button on the upper right corner and
paste this *http://drake79.users.sourceforge.net/ooeclipse/site/
<http://drake79.users.sourceforge.net/ooeclipse/site/>* .
this link is dead now.
such issue is a very bad experience for a beginner or a volunteer.
at a regular interval,Aoo should use a tool to scan the website,and update
the dead link to a valid one.

Dev list --
After some searching, it seems we are still without a current working
eclipse plugin for development -- correct?
Can someone with eclipse verify that the instructions given on the wiki
page:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/JavaEclipseTuto
don't work?

Thank you for contacting the development list about this. We will make
every effort to correct this link.
And, we do need to do a better job at correcting incorrect links on both
our main website -- www.openoffice.org -- and the wiki if at all possible.

Hi Rory -- Yes, you're correct. I tracked down the information on this.
You're right -- it's not a "real" link. But we still need verification on
someone using Eclipse if it works as advertised (per the instructions). If
not, we need to edit the page. I'm fairly certain we currently don't have
an eclipse plugin that works for AOO 4.0.x.

In fact, this is not a dead link at all. It is not even a _link_; you are attempting to click on an illustration which is there to show what you will see if you follow the instructions of the wiki to install that Java/Eclipse tutorial on your own computer.
