Setup:
Zotero 5.0.97-beta.49+9432cb7e7
M1 Mac running Big Sur 11.6
Problem:
Could not install the plugin for LibreOffice 7.2.2 without an error message. I did install the Java tools as instructed and restarted my computer, but it still did not work.
I then tried manual installation within LibreOffice and it gave me a different error: "ImplementationRegistration::registerImplementation() - The service com.sun.star.loader.Java2 cannot be instantiated"

You can check your version of Java in System Preferences.
You still need to test 7.1.6 if different version of Java doesn't help. It will work with Rosetta, but you will know that 7.2 didn't introduce the issue with Java.
Issue closed. Thanks.
We heard from someone on Twitter that the development version of LO 7.3 does support the ARM JDK, so this should be resolved when LO 7.3 is released.
(This is with the direct-download, x86-64 version of LibreOffice. We don't test with the App Store version, which as far as I know is the only M1-native version currently.)
