OOo Integration 3.0a2 won't install the OOo extension
On Windows with Firefox 3.5.3 and Zotero 2.0b7.1, the OpenOffice.org integration plug-in does not update the OOo Integration extension from 3.0a1 to 3.0a2 on one of my machines, but it worked fine on the other. Removing the OOo extension and the FF add-on and reinstalling the FF add-on does not solve the problem. How can I clean things up so they install properly? Thanks.

Jim: If it's working, don't worry about it.
Pablo: Check that you have the latest Java version from (Apple) Software Update.
It's working,, so I won't break it.
The main problem is that I cannot see the Zotero toolbar in OO3.11.
I have, as suggested on the install page, reinstalled the OO components from within Firefox (3.5.2) (via the FF Add-on Preferences route) and appended are my java plugins:
I do "see" Zotero OpenOffice Integration 3.0a1 (note 1 not 2) in the OO Writer extension manager (FF reports the add-on as 3.0a2 - probably just a version annotation issue)
What I do not see is the zotero citation toolbar within OO.
Thanks again (and again) for all the creative software and the remarkable user support.

After an OpenOffice message that OpenOffice plugin 2.0a1 (I think) was incompatible with Zotero 2.0b7.0 at that stage, I removed the plug-in using OpenOffice/Tools/Extension Manager. After updating to Zotero 2.0b7.1 and reopening OpenOffice, I have a new style of toolbar with text instead of icons. Unfortunately, this new toolbar doesn't work. It also inconveniently crowds the toolbars.
Just want to add that Zotero is an excellent tool!

The icon issue may be independent (I don't see it on a fresh install, either), but you may be able to fix it by closing OpenOffice, going to Tools->Add-ons->Extensions, clicking the "Preferences" button next to Zotero OpenOffice Integration, and then clicking "Reinstall OpenOffice Components".

I did find the toolbar - it is denoted (unhelpfully) "Add-on 1" and it installed (as graphics) onto the otherwise textual 003.1.1 toolbar. OK, so far so good.
However, I am not getting the "could not communicate" error which has been reported in the other active thread on this matter. Further attempts to contact Zotero from within OO (by using the icons) yield a "Zotero experienced an error updating your document" error.
I removed the OO WRiter extension, then tried within Firefox to use
Tools/Add-ons/Zotero OO Integration 3.0a2/Preferences
with the following settings:
Java URE
file:///opt/openoffice.org3/share/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/
soffice Directory
file:///opt/openoffice.org3/share/
and then attempted to Reinstall OO components.
This generated the following error window :
Zotero OpenOffice Integration could not complete installation because an error occurred. Please ensure that OpenOffice is closed, then restart Firefox.
and the following
error in the Report Errors log:

Thanks for instructions. Very helpful.
I'm still not getting to the goal line despite your kind efforts and the instruction page.

Thanks to all the Zotero team for a great tool. Most of us cannot imagine maintaining a tool that involves so many seemingly-moving parts (OS, java variants, alternative paths, various bits and pieces of other Open Source code, etc).
Kudos again.
