Description danielkulesz 2013-05-22 13:42:40 UTC 
I have tried the nbintegration with Netbeans in the following configuration:

Windows: 7 (64bit)
OpenOffice: 3.4.1
OpenOffice SDK: 3.4.1
Netbeans: 7.3
Netbeans Integration: 3.0.2 (obtained from Carl Marcum's Repository at http://people.apache.org/~cmarcum/devtools/ )

Installing OOo to the normal location puts the installed files in the following directory:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\"

Then I tried creating a new OpenOffice.Calc AddIn. Already the wizard welcomed me with the error message shown in the first attachment.

When trying to export the project to an OXT file, I got the following error:

Spurious filename '(x86)\OpenOffice.org'

(see the second attachment for the full output)

As a workaround, I copied the contents of the OOo3-installation to another folder (c:\ooo3copy) and with this location, it works flawlessly. It seems like either the blank or the colon is causing this issue.

This might be not related to the NetBeans plug-in in particular, but a more general problem.

Did you try to set up the SDK environment?
You can find instructions inside the SDK folder.
If you can set up the environment, please test if it works with some of the SDK Java examples that have custom IDL, for example

It's a problem of the used preprocessor ucpp which don't accept spaces or brackets in include paths.

It can fixed to convert such paths in the windows short form with ~ ... of course for windows only.

Fixed on trunk

grant showstopper flag.

The fix will solve a problem with the idlc/ucpp compiler on Windows when the office/SDK is installed in the default location where the path contains spaces. It solves a problem that occurs when using the NetBeans plugin and make it unusable. The fix is minimal and will affect the idlc only.
