/**
 * Is a collection of basic features.
 * This helper shows different functionality of framework api
 * in an example manner. You can use the follow ones:
 *      (1) parse URL's
 *      (2) create frames (inside/outside a java application)
 *      (3) dispatches (with[out] notifications)
 *      (4) loading/saving documents
 *      (5) convert documents to HTML (if possible)
 *      (6) close documents (and her frames) correctly
 *
 * There exist some other helper functionality too, which
 * doesn't use or demonstrate the office api:
 *      (a) getting file names by using a file chosser

     * Note: First mode (creation of a child window) can be reached by two different
     *       ways.
     *   - pack the required window handle of our java window inside an UNO object
     *     to transport it to the remote office toolkit and get a child office
     *     window.
     *     This is the old way. It's better to use the second one - but to be
     *     future prove this old one should be tried too.
     *   - it's possible to pass the native window handle directly to the toolkit.
     *     A special interface method was enabled to accept that.
     *     
     *   The right way to create an office window should be then:
     *   - try to use second creation mode (directly using of the window handle)
     *   - if it failed ... use the old way by packing the handle inside an object
