Hi,

We have just made available the 0.3 Early Developer Release of the
Scripting Framework for OpenOffice.org.

To install this release go to:

http://framework.openoffice.org/scripting/index.html

and follow the instructions in the Install link.

What's new in 0.3:
We have added support for JavaScript (based on Mozilla's Rhino interpreter).
We have added support for filesystem scripts, you can now bind to
scripts located anywhere on your filesystem in the Assign dialogs.
We have provided much improved edit & debug facilities for BeanShell &
JavaScript.

The Scripting Framework will allow you to write scripts in Java,
JavaScript or BeanShell with full access to the current document and run
them from OOo. We provide a NetBeans module to support OOo script
development and deployment for Java and BeanShell. You have full access
to the current OOo document from your script and can use any of the Java
UNO API's to manipulate it.

You can deploy your scripts to an OpenOffice.org installation or into
an OpenOffice.org document. You can then invoke the scripts
from within OOo, just use the new Tools/ Script Add-on's -> Assign
script dialogs in OOo to bind the available scripts written in Java or
BeanShell to a menu, key or eventbinding and you are all set.

Please feel free to download and try it out against the new OpenOffice
1.1 Beta2 build.

Best regards,

Scripting Framework Team
