Hi,
No: in this case the admin should remove the
officeimporter app.
The only drawback I see is that until we have an application manager it's a
bit harder for the Admin to bring the application back after deleting it
(he
needs to re-install it instead of simply changing a configuration setting).
But indeed, it's not a big drawback. The admin could also simply rename the
page.
Since the 3rd option (hide the menu if the application isn't installed) is
already implemented, I think we can cancel the second part of the vote.
Asiri, ping me if you need help for the message's wording.
I think we should extend this to display a message in officeimporter wysiwyg
plugin's file upload tab if the openoffice server is not present. This is
consistent with what we are going to do for officeimporter application.
Related JIRA: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XAOFFICE-25
I'm going to implement these changes by tomorrow. Please let me know if any
of you are against it.
Thanks.

Thus I think the user doesn't have to know
that the feature exists
if the
administrator has not activated it. The question then becomes: how
does the
administrator knows that the feature exists? I can see 2 options:
- Make the check be: "if the user isn't an admin & the server isn't
running" so that admins know about the feature
- Keep the check as it is and assume that admins that want to make
the
OOo server work will find out how since it's an often requested
feature
I'd like to add a new behavior though (if it's not already done):

- if the office importer app is not installed (we
can test for the
main office importer page availability) then the menu entry shouldn't
appear.
The OOo app comes bundled by default with XE. It's always there by
default.
This option doesn't solve the user expectation issue.
