The properties of Extensions in OpenOffice.org are stored in
description.xml. The user interface in NetBeans for these properties simplifies editing of the file. |

Extension Management |
The Extension Identifier must be unique for the extension in OpenOffice.org,
because it is used to identify the extension. To guarantee a unique name,
a default value is constructed from the main package structure of the project
and the project name itself. If you want to create your own unique identifier,
the reverse domain name system is recommended. The Extension Version can be used for tracking the changes an Extension may undergo in its life cycle. The convention of numbering <major>.<minor>.<bugfix> is recommended. The first number is 0.0.1 as default. See the chapters in the Developer's Guide: |

Dependency |
Currently it is only possible to make an extension dependent on a specific
OpenOffice.org version. This feature starts with OpenOffice.org 2.1. Note
that older versions of OpenOffice.org will ignore this setting. For
details see: |

Update |
You can add an internet page with an xml file for updating registered
Extensions. Note that your Extension is always available as an online
update when you publish it on the Extensions page
on OpenOffice.org. See and |

License |
Add a simple license to your Extension. License files can be localized
and one license can be set as the default when no localization is available.
You can choose if the license must be approved by each user - as an EULA -
or only by an administrator. See |
