I need to develop an editor for .aef file extension. But after doing a lot of googling i didn't find out what is the architecture of .aef. How we can read/write .aef file.
Any help is much appreciated
To be able to open a .AEF file you have to download the Script Editor from UCCX. Login to CCX Administration -> Tools -> Plugins -> Cisco Unified CCX Editor
Hope this helps
you need to download CiscoUnifiedCCXEditorInstall.exe this file is download from uccx admin page, here you have a link to download the image of UCCX admin, but you need a license.
Here you have a link for free download software:
https://ciscosoftware.mediuscorp.com/market/networkers/homeWork
An aef file for Cicso UCCX is a serialized Java object. Documentation for Java Object Serialization is here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/serialization/index.html.
While it may be possible to create 3rd party software to work with these files, it may be impossible or at least difficult to make it complete and accurate without the proprietary Cisco software the contained serialized objects refer to.

I have to prepare e-learning course for translation in a CAT tool, but I don't have experience with this type of content.
The client sent me a SCORM package, containing mainly js, xml and HTML files.
I can work with them, but I am not sure if the course will work properly after translation and I don't know how to test it?
Can I use the SCORM package or I have to ask for text extraction from the authoring tool in which the course was created?
Thank you!
One of the easiest ways to test a SCORM package is to create a free account on SCORM Cloud, https://cloud.scorm.com. Once you have an account you'll be able to upload the zip file, launch the content and see how it plays and what it records, etc. The tool also allows re-uploading to see the different version, etc. If you have trouble or questions email support#scorm.com for assistance. I didn't understand the second question, it probably depends on which authoring tool and how extensive the edits are.
(Full disclosure I work for Rustici Software who owns SCORM Cloud.)
Is there any way to convert odt documents to doc or rtf on linux without openoffice or any library that relies on having openoffice installed ?
OpenOffice.org and its derivatives (LibreOffice, Symphony, etc) currently have one of the best converters between ODF and the Microsoft formats (besides the ODF support built into MS Office).
If those converters are not an option for you, you can choose between some alternatives: Foremost you might want to check out the KOffice project which also offers command line tools for file conversion:
KOffice - File Filters
Then there is another open source project with a free BSD license available on SourceForge:
OpenXML/ODF Translator
This project offers not only add-ins for Microsoft Office, but also a stand-alone command line version which also runs on Linux.
Then there would also be a different approach: You can automate Google Docs using command line tools:
googlecl: Command line tools for the Google Data APIs
Google Docs file conversion have internally been based on the OpenOffice.org file filters, but as far as I know they have been replaced by Aspose, a library for document formats.
Aspose is available in several versions, and as you have a Linux dependency you might want to check out their Java version.
Aspose.Words for Java
The library has its price, but you won't find another library that is not a full office suite with that quality.
If you don't want to use OpenOffice, Google Docs is your best bet. Cross-platform, web-based, and free, it takes about 2 minutes. You would upload the file, and check convert, then redownload as a doc or pdf (depends on what you want).
http://docs.google.com/
You could try this freeware (Docx2Rtf) and run it under WINE.
Checkout unoconv. It relies on OpenOffice.org its core, but it doesn't rely on any GUI packages. I assume this is what you want?
Use http://zamzar.com/ It has great support for all those formats. And is not reliant on any other installed program.
And of course, being a web page, it will work on any OS.
With issues gathering on bitbucket, I'd like to have a way to gather and back them up in the event that I need an offline copy, or no longer use Bitbucket, or something else. The site doesn't offer this service. Is there an alternative mechanism I can use?
From now on you can Import/Export your Issues:
Goto: -> Administration -> Import/Export
Youtube-Video: Bitbucket Issue Export
You can get your issues via the Bitbucket API.
Here is an example URL to get the issues for one of my projects:
https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/repositories/christianspecht/bitbucket-backup/issues/
However, this returns a list of the issues in JSON format.
I doubt that you can do anything useful with a list of issues in JSON, but I don't know if there's a better file format for issues.
I just asked exactly that here on StackOverflow, because I'm dealing with the same thing at the moment:
Is there a standard file format for exporting issues from an issue tracker?
Full disclosure I am the author of Issue2Markdown because I really needed it.
As mentioned previously you can export your issues from Bitbucket project by going to Settings->Issues->Import & Export and then downloading the resultant ZIP file.
Inside that ZIP file, you will find JSON file and attachments archive. You can import those into some other issue repository. Or if you are like me you may be working with a remote team that is reluctant to use an issue tracker and would like to be able to read a human-readable version of the issues.
That is where Issue2Markdown comes in. You can use that to render your issues as a single Markdown document. You can find pre-built binaries for Linux, Windows, and MacOS under releases.
I hope that helps the next person who could not find the solution.
There doesn't currently appear to be any way to export your issues :(
You could export issues from settings in the repository. Then download the and extract the zip file, that would give you a json that you just could parse any way you prefer
I wrote a small python script to convert issues json file to excel that you can find it here. Hope it gives you some ideas:

Is there are any open source or free-ware library to display PDF file in my Delphi program?
I had looked for one, but most of them are commercial or not fully functional.
PS: this solution need to be cross platform by using wine.
One possible solution might be to include the open source SumatraPDF viewer with your program and use it to display the pdf's.
http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/index.html
One nice thing about SumatraPDF, other than it being open source, is that it doesn't require an install. It consists solely of a single .exe, so you could just stick the .exe in your app's folder and call it to display pdf's. SumatraPDF is a pretty bare-bones viewer, so it may be one of the ones you've already looked at and rejected as "not fully functional", but I'm not sure whether you're going to find any perfect open source solution.
As others brought up in the similar thread that was linked from this one, you might consider using the Gnostice library or the WPCubed wpdfviewer component. You have to purchase a developer's license for those, but then can incorporate them in your app and deploy as many as you want with no runtime licensing fees.
My answer to this question discusses the Adobe API.
I missed the PS. Some other answers to the same question may help.
I've got simple java-based ppt->swf sub-project that basically works. The open source software out there, OpenOffice.org and JODConverter do the job great.
The thing is, to do this I need to install OO.o and run it in server mode. And to do that I have to install OO.o, which is allot of software (~160MB) just to convert the source PPT files to an intermediate format. Also, the public OO.o distributions are platform specific and I'd really like a single, cross platform set of files. And, I'd like to not interfer with a system's current settings, like file extension associations.
As things are now, my project is not particularly 'software distribution friendly'.
So, the questions are:
Is it possible to create a custom distribution of OpenOffice? How would one about this?
How lightweight and unobtrusive can I make the installation?
Would it be possible to have a truly cross platform distribution since there would be no OO.o UI?
Are there any licensing issues I need to be aware of? (On my list of things to check out, but if you them already then TIA!)
I have no idea to accomplish such task, but Microsoft has its PPT viewer that is for free and very small, maybe in .NET (C#) you can use some kinda function to save into a intermediate file that you need...
and by the way, how are you handling slide transictions?
I found a software that does that but you need MS PPT installed.
this was just an idea, now regarding your actually question:
you can create your own installation of OO, just jump to the Installation project and follow the lines.
I did not read 'til the end, but from the 1st paragraph it seams what you are searching for.
No, not unless you are neck deep coding in the OpenOffice project.
