Getting a minimal workenvironment for CWS handling at OpenOffice.org
To be able to open a CWS for testautomation, you do not need to checkout everything from svn repository.
(As an example I used Mac OS X 10.4 PPC)
Create a new directory and go on with:
mkdir DEV300_m38
cd $_
svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/tags/DEV300_m38/config_office
svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/tags/DEV300_m38/solenv
svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/tags/DEV300_m38/dmake
svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/tags/DEV300_m38/moz
Now go into directory config_office and type ./configure with some switches from:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/AquaBuild#One-Time_preparations_and_scripts
When finished without errors, go up one level and type:
./bootstrap
After that do:
source MacOSXPPCEnv.Set.sh
There should now be the cws command available:
cws help
(Maybe you need to tweak your config a little: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/CWS#cws_config_file_.28.cwsrc.29 )
cws create DEV300 tbo04
creates the CWS in the EIS database, but does not change something on your harddisk.
You are now able to start getting your needed testautomation files:
mkdir testautomation
cd $_
svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/cws/tbo04/testautomation/global
svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/cws/tbo04/testautomation/YOUR_WANTED_MODULE
Now you are able to begin your work by changing the files to testautomation.

Last major issue solved for automated testing on MacOS X
The last major issue to be solved is the behaviour of the VCL TestTool application after OpenOffice.org crashed.
The quickstarter behaviour needs to get disabled for automated testing, which currently can not be triggered after a crash on MacOS X.
The winning issue which solves this is 86540 which will get integrated with cws gh15. Thanks to GH for getting this done.
In the meantime I also found a workaround for this: Registering a Basic macro to be executed on startup of OpenOffice.org.

Using NetBeans IDE Early Access for PHP for Drupal Development
Since NetBeans IDE Early Access for PHP it is nicely possible to use NetBeans to work with php projects.
But to use it for Drupal projects, there exists these .module and .install files, which also contain php code, but are not recogniced by NetBeans as such, you need a slight modification to one file in your NetBeans installation:
- Take the file netbeans/php1/modules/org-netbeans-modules-php-editor.jar and unzip it in a new directory.
- Edit the file org/netbeans/modules/php/editor/resources/PHPMimeResolver.xml and add the lines:
- <ext name="module"/>
- <ext name="install"/>
- Now zip the files in your directory to org-netbeans-modules-php-editor.jar and replace the original file org-netbeans-modules-php-editor.jar with that.
Now NetBeans is a little more friendly to Drupal

It's getting better on MacOS X Aqua! (automated testing with VCL TestTool)
The former problem is identified and solved; It was all about a focus problem:
The UI of OpenOffice.org is not completely updated when the application is not front most.
When VCL TestTool starts OpenOffice.org, the application is started behind
the VCL TestTool application. This prevents some UI updates on OpenOffice.org,
which would be necessary for some tests.
First solution, as a workaround, is calling OpenOffice.org.app with the shell command,
after the VCL TestTool started soffice.bin. This makes OOo the front most application.
The real solution is made by PL, binding some 'bring application to front' action
to the commandline switch '-enableautomation', which belongs to CWS aquavcl07.
So from now on, errors shown by automated testing on MacOS X, are real errors found in OpenOffice.org.

Current issues that affect automated testing with VCL TestTool on MacOS X Aqua
The results of the ~40 category 0 tests are not quite satisfying.
Compared to other platforms the errors and warnings are huge.
The reason is currently not the quality of OpenOffice.org on MacOS, it is more an issue on how OpenOffice.org behaves on VCL TestTool.
Link to all issues.

First steps on automatically testing a NetBeans wizard
At first I didn't see how these J-tools fit together, but after trying to use them, the picture became clearer.
The next steps for my project would be:
- How do I get the name of a control.
- Try to automate clicking through the project wizard 'StarOffice/OpenOffice.org Calc Add-In'
- How do I organize the files for the test.
- How to present the result of the test.

Evaluating QA for OpenOffice.org NetBeans Integration
Boss: "You have to do QA for this new feature."
Me: "Oh no! This is not in OOo, it is in NetBeans. I can't use our VCL TestTool for this. I have to do it by hand!
"Boss: "Yes, I know. Just do it one time!"
After getting used to NetBeans, it came to my mind that they have to do QA for this IDE, too.
How do they do this??? Google: testtools netbeans

Now moved to http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Cvs_tags_and_branchesEvery release of OOo throws up the question:
Which cvs tag should I use to test OOo with the TestTool application?
Short answer for OOo 2.2. currently: take the HEAD - until ooo220 exists.
Longer answer...
