Cannot install Libreoffice plugin in Linux

kart majere

I've tried to do the manual installation of the Libreoffice plugin after the automated process failed. On attempting to install the plugin I get the following error in the extension manager:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Please advise.

which linux distro & version? Which LO version?

Simon

If the distro has a libreoffice-java-common package, make sure that's installed. (Our installer tries to do that for you, but this was the issue here.)

Thanks guys for the quick response. Distro is Ubuntu 13.10 and LO version 4.1.3.2.

Installation of libreoffice-java-common has done the trick; however for some reason I have only text rather than icons for Insert Citation, Edit Citation etc.

That seems to happen occasionally, I don't think anyone knows quite why.

I see. And I'm guessing there's no workaround or solution?

well, various people report success here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/21761/libreoffice-missing-toolbar-icons-but-toolbar-working/
most commonly just by re-installing the LO plugin

Thanks adamsmith. I had to delete the openoffice config file before reinstalling the plugin for it to work.
