Integrate Star Office with NetBeans

Chuk Mun Lee of Sun Microsystems has created a module that integrates Star Office into the NetBeans IDE.

Star Office has a rich programmatic interface call UNO, and by integrating it with NetBeans, you can create Star Office macros in Java. The integration of Star Office and NetBeans allows you to integrate drawings and documents as, say, part of the software’s design documentation, alongside the Java modules within the very same NetBeans project.
