LibreOffice 4.3.5.2 extension javaloader error

Hi, I have been using Zotero for a few years now and it has helped me a lot. I have used both the linux standalone, browser plugin, as well as LibreOffice integration.

However, after updating to the lastest stable LO, I cannot use the Zotero LO Integration extension any more. After updating, clicking the buttons in the menu did not do anything anymore. I tried using the reinstall function in the Zotero Preferences, but it produced an error, saying that it didn't work and that I should try manual installation. However, the manual installation gave me the following message in an error box:

(com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException) { { Message = "javaloader error - could not find class com/sun/star/comp/loader/JavaLoader", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @0 } }

I tried removing and installing it again, but nothing has helped so far. I have tried both Java versions 1.7.0 and 1.8.0 which are installed on my computer by choosing them in the LO options, but that did not help either. What do to make it work again? Without the LO integration Zotero is pretty much pointless... Any ideas? I'm on OpenSUSE 13.2 64-bt and LO 3.4.5.2.

Many Thanks.

    This seems to be SUSE specific and not limited to Zotero (language tool and Zotero are frequently affected by the same LibreOffice Java issues): see here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/503051-Zotero-Plugin-Installation
    that's all I can tell you, unfortunately, I'd follow up there.

    suggests that uninstalling LO and re-installing it from the LO webpage might work.

    Thank you for your reply and you are correct, for some reason the official release of OpenSUSE was giving the error. It's working now, what I did was removed LO, added the LibreOffice repository and then re-install LO and that worked.

    Many thanks
