(2.3MB)  (2.2MB)

This plugin provides an integration with OpenOffice 2.0. You must first install OpenOffice 2.0.
To create a new OpenOffice document, go to the menu: File > New > Other > OpenOffice.org and select one of the OpenOffice document type (Text document, Web document, Draw document, etc).
For RCP developers, this offers interesting possibilities to create composite applications with Eclispe and OpenOffice.

Note that we have not tested this plugin extensively. It may not work properly. Feel free to give feedback in the comments.
