The JodConverter integration, which is a library that improves the stability and performance of OpenOffice.org (OOo) within Alfresco. The OOoJodConverter runs on the same machine as the Alfresco server. The JodConverter supports:

• a pool of separate OpenOffice processes
• automatic restart of crashed OpenOffice processes
• automatic termination of slow OpenOffice operations
• automatic restart of any OpenOffice process after a number of operations (this is a workaround for OpenOffice memory leaks)

> version 1.1

• unlimited pool of separate OpenOffice processes (your hardware is limitation)
• fixed bug: org.artofsolving.jodconverter.office.OfficeException: failed to start and connect (now jodconverter doing this automatically)

Dear Alfresco,

I'm a bit confused whether JOD converter is supposed to work on the Community version or not....

- From this page, it seems it was supported in Alfresco Community 4.2.x

- From this thread, it seems it was never supported - https://community.alfresco.com/thread/214716-jodconverter

- The JOD library is open source on GitHub - Alfresco/alfresco-jodconverter: JODConverter automates document conversions using LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org 

- The Alfresco Community 5.2.0 classpath (WEB-INF/lib) includes jodconverter-2.1.0-alfresco-patched.jar

I'd really like to use it, instead of randomly killing the soffice process, as proposed as alternative in the thread above.

Thanks in advance!
