extensions description xml doesn't exist
Today I was rebuilding an extension I had written 4 years ago, and I just
happened to look at the "Retriever Output" window in Netbeans, and I found
this error:
23-feb-2019 19.14.23 : Retrieving Location:
http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006
Error: File not found in the specified address :
http://www.openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006
If I try to navigate to http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006 I
get a "page not found".
In the wiki the only reference is to this page:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Description_of_XML_Elements
Should this xml descriptor still exist in this location?

Well done Matthias!
Any progress on the Check for Updates issue?

This will work, but I confirm what you and others had guesses: this is
not required to be an URI where some resources will be found. It is just
for the sake of namespacing, and it is fine if one doesn't get anything
there (but it doesn't harm if one sees the page you've put there either,
so it's fine to keep it!).

Hi all,
For the moment I have created a landing page for this URI:
http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006
This should also "fix" the warnings in Netbeans.

Matthias

That's exactly the way I understand it.
Because of the confusion created by such an URI we created a special
page for our update feed:
http://www.openoffice.org/installation/description/
Maybe this is something to do for other "unresolved" URIs?

(1) I am pretty sure that URL has been 404 for about 7 years.
(2) You can always ask the Netbeans developers at dev@netbeans.apache.org <ma...@netbeans.apache.org>

Not being an expert in xml structures, it does seem to me however that the
url isn't really to be considered an actual url, I guess it's just a string
(called a URI ) to identify the elements in this xml tree as belonging to
this family of elements.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/11602530
So in that case it's really indifferent if the "URL" resolves or not, so I
guess I can safely ignore the warning message in Netbeans (and I'm not sure
why netbeans even tries to resolve that as a url?)

Actually that part seems to be ignored.
The description.xml in all the extensions I use start with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<description xmlns="http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006"
xmlns:d="http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
But that address is a 404...
Does anyone know what is the point of including this outdated header?
Should it be fixed/updated or simply removed?

I don't see an XML descriptor at extensions.openoffice.org ? Should it be
at a URL such as https://extensions.openoffice.org/description/2006 ?

All extensions are now at https://extensions.openoffice.org/
If your extension is hosted at the new address maybe it needs a little URL editing
Hope this helps...
