Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Hide Office Importer Features when the OOo server isn't running

Hi, Yes, we can either: 1. Completely hide the file upload tab if the openoffice server is not present. 2. Display a "teaser" message in the file upload tab saying "This functionality requires ....". I thought (2) was more consistent with what we are going to do for officeimporter application UI (display a message saying openoffice server is not started etc.)
