Methods' Summary
getSupportedPackageTypes gets the supported XPackageTypeInfos.  
createAbortChannel creates a command channel to be used to asynchronously abort a command.  
addExtension adds an extension. The properties argument is currently only used to suppress the license information for shared extensions.  
removeExtension removes an extension.  
enableExtension enable an extension. If the extension is not from the user repository then an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.  
disableExtension disable an extension. If the extension is not from the user repository then an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.  
getDeployedExtensions gets all currently installed extensions, including disabled user extensions.  
getDeployedExtension gets an installed extensions.  
getExtensionsWithSameIdentifier gets all extensions with the same identifer from all repositories. The extension at the first position in the returned sequence represents the extension from the user repository. The next element is from the shared and the last one is from the bundled repository. If one repository does not contain this extension, then the respective element is a null reference.  
getAllExtensions returns a sequence containing all installed extensions. The members of the returned sequence correspond to an extension with a particular extension identifer. The members are also sequences which contain as many elements as there are repositories. Those are ordered according to the priority of the repository. That is, the first member is the extension from the user repository, the second is from the shared repository and the last is from the bundled repository.  
reinstallDeployedExtensions Expert feature: erases the underlying registry cache and reinstalls all previously added extensions. Please keep in mind that all registration status get lost.  
synchronize synchronizes the extension database with the contents of the extensions folder of shared and bundled extensinos. Added extensions will be added to the database and removed extensions will be removed from the database. The active extensions are determined. That is, shared or bundled extensions are not necessaryly registered (XPackage::registerPackage).  
synchronizeBundledPrereg synchronizes the special bundled_prereg repository, which is based on the bundled extensions and has its registration data folder at $BUNDLED_EXTENSIONS_PREREG (for example openoffice.org3/share/prereg). All bundled extensions are registered (XPackage::registerPackage). The active extensions are NOT determined, because this function only works with bundled extensions. This function is intended to be called during the installation of OOo. OOo will copy parts of the registration data folder to the user installation at the first startup.  
getExtensionsWithUnacceptedLicenses returns all extensions which are currently not in use because the user did not accept the license. The function will not return any object for the user repository, because a user extension will not be kept in the user repository if its license is declined. Only extensions which are registered at start-up of OOo, that is, shared and bundled extensions, can be returned. Extensions which allow the license to be suppressed, that is, it does not need to be displayed, and which are installed with the corresponding option, are also not returned. Extensions returned by this functions are not returned by ::XExtensionManger::getDeployedExtension ::XExtensionManger::getDeployedExtensions ::XExtensionManger::getAllExtensions ::XExtensionManger::getExtensionsWithSameIdentifier  
checkPrerequisitesAndEnable check if all prerequisites for the extension are fulfilled and activates it, if possible.  
isReadOnlyRepository determines if the current user has write access to the extensions folder of the repository.
