Architecture Documentation
Hello All,
I have gone through the
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-development.html and have
created a debugable build for AOO.
I wanted to get a deeper understanding of Apache OpenOffice before I start
making contributions.
The tech overview document at
www.openoffice.org/white_papers/tech_overview/tech_overview.html is quite
outdated, though as per the author it was meant to be updated with time.The
search on the mailing lists did not yeild any update on this. OO Architecture
diagram <https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Architecture> is of limited use.
Could some one point me to a updated tech overview of OO, or a method to
get a good understanding the functionality and interaction between the
large number of modules?
Thanks,
Abhishek

I dont think that has been made.
you can find a lot of information in the wiki, but not as a document. If
you look for gbuild or "build effort" you will find some good structural
diagrams.

Hello John and Jan,
Thank you for the reference to the DevelopersGuide, it is quite useful for
me. This seems to a PDF version of the Developer's Guide present at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide
.
The purpose of developer's guide seems to be describe how to write
extensions using UNO, and it does cover the Framework and UNO in detail.
But the developer's guide does not cover all of the internal architecture
and components of AOO, given that its focus is on the AOO API.
Would you have access to an updated version of
www.openoffice.org/white_papers/tech_overview/tech_overview.html
?
Thanks a lot for the help.
Abhishek

Here is a link to it
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/File:DevelopersGuide_OOo3.1.0.pdf
it is the newest one, and even though details around the single api etc
might have changed the general structure is the same.

Abhishek: check out DevelopersGuide_OOo3.1.0.pdf. ~1500 pages of tech
detail on AOO internals. That's the most recent I could find, maybe there's
a 4xx out there too?
