                 Key: GEOTK-32
                 URL: http://jira.geotoolkit.org/browse/GEOTK-32
             Project: Geotoolkit
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Referencing
    Affects Versions: 3.02, 3.01, 3.00, 3.03
            Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
            Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.04


Old versions of GeoTools had an add-in for OpenOffice 2, which allowed the use of many of the power of the referencing module inside a Calc spreadshet. It provides services for coordinate transformations, querying informations about CRS, calculating orthodromic distances, etc. The add-in was broken with OpenOffice 3, but a contributor patched it using the NetBeans support of OpenOffice. Unfortunatly the OpenOffice plugin - which was working great with NetBeans 6.5 - has not yet been ported to NetBeans 6.7, as mentioned here:

  * http://forums.netbeans.org/topic13965.html
  * http://www.java-archive.org/netbeans-user/42119-openoffice-plugin-netbeans-6-7-a.html

Given the popular demand for this the Referencing add-in to Calc, we should port it as soon as the NetBeans plugin is available.
