| I've started development of a new java based application to access filter |
| configuration data of any StarOffice or OpenOffice installation. |
| The first version of it will be a very simple tool and supports |
| read only access only. It's planned to extend it's functionality, |
| step by step, to get a full-featured administration tool. But |
| this task can't be done by one person only. So I offer the code |
| on OpenOffice. Please feel free to contact me if you are |
| interested in this code. |

| <P CLASS="western"><FONT FACE="Arial, sans-serif"> |
| The filter configuration of an office is a very complex mechanism. |
| Configuration data is organized similar to a database, e.g., |
| filters are registered for different types. This data is |
| available, inside an office installation, in a file named |
| TypeDetection.xml. The structure of the file is simple, but the |
| number of entries can be very high, e.g., on a full installation |
| set. Reading and editing large sets isn't easy. That is the |
| reason for this application: to provide a simple access to the |
| data source and also illustrate the use of the office filter |
| api. |

| <H2 CLASS="western"><A NAME="licence">Licence</A></H2> |

| It's completely free. Use of the binaries and source will not be regulated in any |
| way. That doesn't include any external requirements, e.g., jdk / |
| office, which may use their own license models. |

| Get the <A HREF="http://framework.openoffice.org/documentation/filterui/filterui.jar">JAR</A> file, for direct use.<BR> |
| Copy it into your office installation (this means your directory „<office_install>/program/classes“) or to any |

| </P> |
| <LI><P CLASS="western" ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Arial, sans-serif"><A NAME="install_2"/> |
| Use sources from OpenOffice project <A HREF="http://framework.openoffice.org/source/browse/framework/framework">framework/framework</A>. |
| Change to sub directory <A HREF="http://framework.openoffice.org/source/browse/framework/framework/java/filterui/">“java/filterui“</A>. |
| There you will find all necessary sources to build the application as a |
| packed JAR file, as well as to generate the class and property |
| files. See <A HREF="http://framework.openoffice.org/source/browse/framework/framework/java/filterui/readme.txt">“java/filterui/readme.txt“</A> for further information. |
| After compilation, you will have a JAR file. Use it |

| <LI><P CLASS="western" ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Arial, sans-serif"> |
| Get the java sources and build it by yourself.<BR> |
| Of course, this is possible also – but I will not document |
