Hi !

I wanted to use this great Office Integration plugin. It works great with files like .odt, but now i want to edit .xml (WordML) files.

So here are my steps :

- Creating an xml (wordml) file with word 2003
- Importing it in Eclipse (Eclipse Platform
Version: 3.3.1.R33x_r20070911-_19UEkpF-B7Uh2hKy75y
Build id: M20070921-1145 )
- Right click on the xml file
- Selecting "Opening with ..."
- Choosing in the internal editors "Text Editor" (with openoffice writer icon)

The result is that NOA4e doing the job, it opens the file with the integrate editor. But the xml is not interpreted as a wordml ! The plugin just shows me the xml syntax ...

So what's the problem ? If i do the same steps but instead of choosing internal editors I choose the external one (OpenOffice 2.3.1), it works and it opens to me a new instance of OpenOffice with the interpreted xml.

Could you please give me some advices and explain me how can i edit .xml with NOA4e)

Thanks in advance

Hi,

there is some limitiation in NOA4e that I discovered analysing Your problem.
Since we are working with InputStreams in the eclipse-Workbench we do not know what type the file is, so OpenOffice.org tries to guess it. This way it works for almost all types but xml. The UNO API that NOA uses supports loading with defining the type, but we/eclipse does not know what type of file it is either. So I added some user interaction that is now required everytime you open a xml file with NOA4e. This change will be available in next release (unkonwn date).
I can send you the plugins that fix the problem for now via email if You like. Just overwritet them in your plugins directory.
