Hi Devs,
Jodconverter 3.0-beta-2 version has been released: http://groups.google.com/group/jodconverter/browse_thread/thread/8b73b26b701...
One of the most important fix for us is the first point mentioned there:
"OOo is now started with -nofirststartwizard by default. This avoids the frequent problem of OOo refusing to work on a new machine because it's expecting somebody to accept its license dialogue even in -headless mode"
Without this fix currently we have to copy an already initialized ooprofile directory to the destination server and point to it from xwiki.properties file. This is a pain.
Also there are several other enhancements: http://code.google.com/p/jodconverter/issues/list?can=1&q=label%3ATarget-3.0...
Unfortunately some of the public APIs of jodconverter has been changed from beta-1 release to beta-2 release. But still, upgrading our officeimporter module to use this new jodconverter release will not require that much of code changes.
Note: jodconverter is not available in any public maven repository AFAIK. So we need to release it to our externals repository as we did with the beta-1 version.
The other feature is a frequently requested one (auto-strart) and admins are having a hard time without this feature :)
Here is my +1 for both features.
Thanks.
