Openoffice plugin - disable writing to terminal
How do I prevent the Zotero OO plugin from writing messages of the type:
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Executing setDocPrefs
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Iterating mainLoop
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Sending message "setDocPrefs"
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Received message ["Application_getActiveDocument",[]]
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Sending message null
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Iterating mainLoop
and so on. It's very annoying. Thank you.

The answer to your question is: put an ampersand behind your soffice command to release the terminal.
I can't tell you why Ooo integration writes to the terminal - I didn't write it - but a lot of software does - it seems to me more like a matter of taste - one use case would be that terminal output can be used for low-level debugging and functionality tests, including by endusers, because it's much less overwhelming than full debug output.
