OpenOffice.org Extensions Site

The new OOo Extensions site has launched.

Among its catalog of extensions is the cool new OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs by Przemyslaw Rumik.

Rumik introduces his new extension to the mailing list: “The extension lets you export Writer (and in theory also Calc) documents to Google Docs. You simply need to choose the Google Docs menu and Export to Google Docs item, enter your Google Account credentials and voila! your document lands on your Google Docs list :-)”

“The extension works with OpenOffice.org 2.2 (should also work with
OpenOffice.org 2.04+) and StarOffice 8, and requires Java 6 SE :-(, and was
tested under Windows.”

    The extension hasn’t worked for me. I’m running Windows XP. Perhaps I don’t have the correct version of Java? This is the error I get when trying to export:
    Problem: no object DCH for MIME type application/atom+XML

    Do you have any ideas as to why this is happening?

    If you go to the OO site, you’ll see that a number of other users are also experiencing the same problem.

    Just checked with Java.com, they say:

    Congratulations!
    You have the recommended Java installed (Version 6 Update 2).

    Will keep looking around.
