README

This repository holds bindings for COM libraries to be used in conjunction with the jna.

The bindings are generated from the typelibraries of the COM libraries, that hold the calling information. This also applies to the documentation, that is present in the code.

Please note: Without the corresponding COM library installed the bindings are not functional.

Usage

You need to build this from source - run:

mvn install

This will publish the bindings into your local repository. If you run an orginsation repository, you can add the distribution information to the parent pom file located beside this file and then this should work:

mvn deploy

Add the typelibrary to the dependencies of the project and make sure the JNA and JNA platform libraries are present in a version 4.3.0-SNAPSHOT or newer.

See:

• Excel Automation
• Word Automation

for examples.

Update Bindings

The source code can only be generated on a windows machine, after the code is generated, the sources can be compiled and published from any OS.

• For each of the submodules delete the src/main folder
• Run mvn eu.doppel-helix.jna.tlbcodegenerator:TlbCodeGenerator:generate install from the project folder
• Fix the build of onenote15 (remove offending methods)
• Run mvn install
• commit the new generated code to the repository
