You might want to ask this question on the API mailing list. The API developers hang out there, and will probably have some answers to your questions.

The project page is here: http://api.openoffice.org/
The updated Developer's guide will be imported into the OOoWiki in the next week or so.
To subscribe to the API mailing list, send a message to: <dev-subscribe@api.openoffice.org>
openSUSE 11.4, KDE4.6 with OpenOffice.org 3.3

Yes, you can also ask here :-). Since you are doing an OS project, and I suspect that it's a college assignment, I will point you in the right direction rather than do all the work for you. You need to read Sections 1-3 and 10 of the SDK Developers Guide and specifically "10.2.2 Saving Drawing Documents", which gives lots of Java examples. This does seem to imply that you can't save entire presentations as HTML. That's not true. The Filter to do this is impress_html_Export. A good place to start your research is to do a google on the filter name. You should find all that you want here. Come back if you have any specific Qs.
