Hi,

I am trying out OpenOffice SDK for first time.

I have updated openoffice installation in my Ubuntu using Synaptic Package
manager its default installation location seems to be  /usr/lib/openoffice.

I have downloaded and installed org-openoffice-extensions-2.0.7.alpha.nbm
with NetBeans 6.9.1. To integrate NetBeans and OpenOffice SDK, I need to
provide SDK Installation location in NetBeans:
----------------------------------------
NetBeans->Tools-Options-Misc->OOo API Plugin->OpenOffice.org Settings

OpenOffice.org: /usr/lib/openoffice
OpenOffice.org SDK Installation:
----------------------------------------

I downloaded SDK version 3.2.1 for the first time from
http://download.openoffice.org/sdk/index.html and extracted it.

When I run the update script that comes with the SDK, I get a message
"Skipping deselected package" for (I think) all the packages within the DEBS
directory.

Seems like SDK installation is not working.

Do I have to manually install all the .deb files? What will it do to my
existing OpenOffice installation that Ubuntu has installed?

Regards,
Harsha
