Hi Carsten,

basically, our project (PAFlow) is an application for producing
documents in public administrations.

We create templates using OpenOffice, that are filled automatically
using data from the application itself.

Now, interacting with OpenOffice is slow, and our tests get a lot of
time to be executed automatically.

We are trying to mock OpenOffice, so that we can run our tests without
using a true OpenOffice for our tests, except when we express test the
filling of data and production of document.

Ciao
