Intermediate OpenOffice.org API Plugin for NetBeans 6

We still have one little issue that is no real error but it is definitely not nice. But the plugin works and is completely functional and because of many requests we decided to provide an intermediate version 1.1.1 on api.openoffice.org.

The problem is that the NetBeans editor complains about unknown types. These types are generated from IDL types and we generate Java class files directly because of backward compatibility reasons. The cool NetBeans editor feature (indeed nice) requires Java code files for all generated and used types in a project (background compilation etc.). Anyway you can build your projects and everything works. If you prefer to get rid of this annoying editor message you can add a further library dependency to your project.

<project_node> -> context menu -> Libraries -> Add Jar/Folder -> <project_dir>/dist/IDL_types.jar

We will try to fix this problem soon but we can't say when. So feel free to try the new version with NetBeans 6 and please report any kind of problems.
