| PackageDescription | With the OfficeBean, a developer can easily write Java applications,
harnessing the power of LibreOffice. It encapsulates a connection to
a locally running LibreOffice process, and hides the complexity of
establishing and maintaining that connection from the developer.
It also allows embedding of LibreOffice documents within the Java
environment. It provides an interface the developer can use to obtain
Java AWT windows into which the backend LibreOffice process draws
its visual representation. These windows are then plugged into the UI
hierarchy of the hosting Java application. The embedded document is
controlled from the Java environment, since the OfficeBean allows
developers to access the complete LibreOffice API from their Java
environment giving them full control over the embedded document, its
appearance and behavior. |
