[EXTENSIONS]: update NetBeans plugin

Hi,

I have checked the AOO API plugin for NetBeans, especially NB 8 together
with AOO 4.1.0. Some changes were necessary to make it working and more
changes to replace deprecated APIs ;-) For now it work on MacOS and will
do some further tests on Linux and Windows. As far as I have finished
this I will provide a plugin for testing.

Maybe there are some volunteers interested to work on further
improvements in this area. Or start working on a similar plugin for
Eclipse. Some time ago we did some research and evaluation on Eclipse
which was very promising. I believe Oliver is already using the Eclipse
IDe for basic editing and makes heavy use of the search/replace/refactor
features. The problem is as always the time factor. I believe such a
project can be really fun and could help us a lot.

Anyway if somebody is interested we are here to help and can support
where possible ;-) But as mentioned earlier our main focus in the future
is on OOXML.

good to know, thanks. Installation is one part and the other one is if
the wizards work and produce working projects and working code ;-) I
have tested all 4 wizards on Mac with a quick test and it seems to work
as expected. But some more tests will be helpful.

Do you think this may solve this issue on windows?

If you do could you leave comment on it.
I have leave shortly  for a trip.

perfect, in the meantime I made some further minor changes for Windows.
On Windows it tricky with 64 versus 32 bit Java. The remoter client app
works only if a 32 Java is used as Java platform. The wizards work in
princicpal with 64 bit Java, only the component wizard which bootstraps
uno inside an office installation needs 32 bit Java as well. Otherwise
the necessary *.dlls can't be loaded.

This can be easy work arounded by starting NetBeans with --jdkhome=<path
to 32 bit JDK>

For example:

netbeans.exe --jdkhome="c:\Progam Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_60"

Juergen,

I just last week tried to install the plugin on NB 8 and it failed.

I can confirm your changes allow installation to NB 8 on Fedora 20 Linux.

Thanks for the changes !!!

Carl

I'd like a copy of the NetBeans plugin for AOO 4.1, when it is ready (Xubuntu 64). I'm fiddling with learning Java (as much as Real Life will let me, which isn't much) and my (long-term) project will be involved with OO, so the plugin will be most useful.
