Installing

Installing Sun™ Report Builder adds additional functionality to an installed version of StarOffice, StarSuite, or OpenOffice.org.

To install a user extension

Double-click the sun-report-builder.oxt file in your system's file browser

or
Choose Tools - Extension Manager, select My Extensions and click Add.

To install a shared extension with UI

There are two ways of installing a shared extension with a graphical user interface:

From the Command Line

Open a terminal or command shell.
Change to the StarOffice/program directory. (Replace StarOffice by StarSuite or OpenOffice.org as applicable)
Terminate any running instances of StarOffice and the Quickstarter, if this happens to be running.
Enter the following command:

unopkg gui

The Extension Manager starts with a graphical user interface.
Click the StarOffice Extensions entry and click Add.
