Zotero Firefox plugin error with LibreOffice 5
Autoinstall doesn't work. Manual installation gives this error message:
'Could not create Java implementation loader'. Is there a way to install the plugin properly?
'Could not create Java implementation loader'. Is there a way to install the plugin properly?
What does it say under Java Options under Tools-->Options-->Advanced?
But it shows text instead of symbols in the menue. If necessary, I'll open a new threat. I am on win10.

The general solution--delete the LO config files and re-installing the Zotero LO add-on should work. Unfortunately I don't know where the config files are on Windows, so you'd have to take a look for that.
%appdata%\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user
Re-starting LO creates a new one. Then installed Zotero LO add-on from firefox again.
The autoinstaller error from Zotero standalone is "Installation could not be completed because an error occurred. Please ensure...Libreoffice... is closed, then restart Zotero".
When you try it manually, it throws the "Could not create Java implementation loader" error.

Then I enabled Jave in the NeoOffice preferences and THEN IT WORKED!
Than I installed a fresh LibreOffice 5. When using the Install function from the LibreOffice plug-in in Firefox I got the error message, that I need the Java Runtime. I followed the link provided by the errormessage (more information... in German "WEiter Infos..." Button) to Oracle and installed the Java Run Time offered there. Restarted Firefox (and even the whole Computer). The Oracle test-page shows Java as runing, trying to install the LibreOffice plug-in I still get the same error message. When trying the manual way I get also an error message "Could not create Java implementation loader"(while the Zotero Toolbar shows up in writer, but does not work). I also tried to uninstall the Firefox Plug in and reinstall it again. Still does not work :(
Yes I also followed the Link in the post above and installed the legacy Java Version from Apple. I rebooted the whole Mac. I reinstalled the Firefox plug-in.
Still when I try to install the LibreOffice extention from Firefox-plug-in (actually it shows the button as "reinstall" so it detects in LibreOffice the extention) I get the error: "Installation could not be completed because an error occurred. Please ensure that LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org/NeoOffice is closed, and then restart Firefox." althoug LibreOffice is not opend.
When I choose to install manually I get from LibreOffice first a warning, that Version 3.5.9 of the Extention is already installed (in German): "Möchten Sie die Version 3.5.9 der Extension 'Zotero LibreOffice Integration' installieren?
Diese Version ist bereits installiert.
Klicken Sie auf 'OK', um die bereits installierte Version zu ersetzen.
Klicken Sie auf 'Abbrechen', um die Installation abzubrechen."
When I click on "ok" to continue the Extention loader seems to work a while and than throws the error message: "Could not create Java implementation loader". Althoug LibreOffice states, that the Zotero extention is installed, it is not listed in the Extention Manager (only when I choose the update option and there to show all updates, zotero shows up in grey and with the description, that an error occured: "Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten:
Start tag expected, '<' not found
Line: 1
Column: 1".
Any more suggestions? Thanks!
Thanks!
The icon issue is a bit more complex, see the posts by oberton from Aug 8 and 12 and Bry from Aug 12 for what they did to get the icons back.
For all mac users: I found the right place by looking into LibreOffice -> preference -> paths (German: Pfade) and it was enough to change the name of the "extensions" folder within the "user" folder, to get ist generated new and Zotero runing with icons. And since it is by default in the Library folder you need to make hidden files visible. see: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/08/04/how-to-show-hidden-files-folders-finder-mac/ for an how-to.
Does that mean, that I did not needed to install the Java 6 legacy-package in the first place but only enable the Java 1.8 in LO?
