GroovyForOpenOffice 0.8-BETA
http://www.ifcx.org/wiki/GroovyForOpenOffice.html

Groovy is updated to version 1.8.2.
Works with OpenOffice.org 2.2+.
Install problem that G4OO 0.6 had with OOo 3.2+ is fixed.

Includes an updated IFCX Wings (v0.8). See multiple JVM-based languages (via JSR-223) and dynamic JAR loading (via Apache Ivy) working inside OpenOffice Writer. And that dynamic loading business includes the language implementations too!

If you have older IFCX Wings documents, they will not work with this version of G4OO. You will need to use G4OO 0.7 (which still has Groovy 1.5.7) until they are updated. To update a Wings document, create a new blank Wings (take the new version included here and delete the contents) and paste in your contents from the older version.

For detailed installtion instruction, see:
http://www.ifcx.org/attach/GroovyForOpenOffice/Installation.pdf

Download the full package (.zip) from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=199110&package_id=... in order to get installation instructions and sample code. Also IFCX Wings at http://www.ifcx.org/wiki/Wings.html is the prime application of G4OO.
