linux OOo Integration with zotero 2b7

gregR

Hi

I've upgraded both zotero and installed new OOo plugin on Ubuntu 8.04 (LTS) today
OOo integration don't work now (It used to work with zotero 2b6 and earlier version of OOo integration plugin)

I have
Firefox 3.0.14
openOffice 2.4.1
sun-java6-plugin (about:plugins in firefox shows Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_16-b01)
All from ubuntu repositories

Zotero 2.0b7
Zotero OpenOffice Integration 3.0a1

In the firefox profile prefs.js
user_pref("extensions.zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration.sofficePath", "file:///usr/lib/openoffice/program/");
user_pref("extensions.zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration.urePath", "file:///usr/share/java/openoffice/");

for the urePath, I've tried both /usr/lib/openoffice/program/classes and /usr/share/java/openoffice/
No /usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/ure-link/share/java/ in my installation of OOo


Installing the OpenOffice Integration went well. The zotero extension is enabled in OOo and the toolbar is there.
When clicking the "insert citation" button in OOo the java console pops up (as defined in my prefs) but nothing happens : firefox freezes and the process java_vm eats 50% of cpu.
I'm forced to kill firefox

here is the trace of firefox launched from console when I click the "insert citation" button in OOo :
gregr@lucie:~$ firefox

zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Initialized.

zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Instantiating org.zotero.integration.ooo.Document in response to getActiveDocument call

zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Passing through getDocumentData call

I've uninstall and reinstall the Zotero OOo Integration extension in firefox and zotero extension in OOo but problem is still there
Looking for other ways to debug this problem.
Thanks in advance

We haven't tested the plug-in extensively on OpenOffice 2.4 (which I believe is the latest version available through apt in Ubuntu 8.04). If you can, you might want to upgrade OpenOffice 3.1 using the package available on the OOo website. However, we should be able to get the plug-in to work with 2.4 as well. I'm currently installing Ubuntu 8.04 in VMWare; I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks for the comment and your efforts
I can confirm that only OOo 2.4 is the max version for ubuntu 8.04 that can be installed through official repositories.
Don't hesitate to contact me for testing debbuging purpose on these versions

It's taken us a little while, but the OpenOffice trunk XPI should now work with OOo 2.4. Just remember to manually install 3.0a5 when it becomes available.
