Because of an codechange in AOO for extensions, there is no way to create the extension with this tool in both lines (AOO and LibO). Jörg Schmidt did some work on the BAB and created two versions - one for AOO and one for LibO with should work. Additional we are planing at the moment, to rework the BAB, bt this needs a little bit of money and we think about a crowdfounding network. So, I will send you with seperat mail the version, I will use tomorrow and I guess, this will work with LibO 5.x too (not really sure...). Nevertheless LibreOffice need a tool like BAB - maybe with some additional features - so I would appreciate your support for a new version.

I thought to write a simple macro with students, such as "Hello world", and explain step by step how to generate the oxt file. Seeking documentation, I saw a lot of confusion on the subject and the argument (as you know) is only present on the site of AOO. I tried to use BAB Paolo Mantovani, both in the new version that in the previous one, and it seemed a very good macro to create extensions. The Extension oxt who created BAB does not work, then I fear that BAB is incompatible with LibreOffice (I have the 5.0.2.2). Opening it, it gives me an error: (Com.sun.star.deployment.DeploymentException) {{Message = "You \ X00e8 an error occurred while enabling: HelloWorld" Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @ 7f2fec3ef8b0}, Cause = ( any) {(com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException) {{{Message = "" Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @ 0}}, ArgumentPosition = (short) 0}}} Here you can find the extension generated by BAB: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.libreitalia.it/cloud/public.php?service=files&t=77d91958fb91ecab19ec2b0b62844d63">http://www.libreitalia.it/cloud/public.php?service=files&t=77d91958fb91ecab19ec2b0b62844d63</a> I have not tried a "reverse engineering" of oxt file to understand what it changes from another oxt (such as "FirmaconDike"), looking for suggestions from you, who are much more experienced than me. Does anyone have experience with BAB and LibreOffice? What is the official method (or recommended one) to create extensions for LibreOffice?
