Zotero Integration Error (Report ID: 459566054)

I installed the new version of Zotero on my Debian system. After updating and upgrading several packages I end up with the following combination of software: OpenOffice 3.2.0, Iceweasel 3.5.8, Zotero 2.0.2, Zotero Integration 3.0a7 and PyhtonExt 2.6.1.20090330. The Zotero add-on in Iceweasel seems to work. The bibliographic data is still there.

I followed the installation instructions (http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation) for the OpenOffice extension while using the following integration preferences:

Java UNO Runtime Directory:
file:///usr/share/java/openoffice/

soffice Executable Directory:
file:///usr/lib/openoffice/program/

When I restart OpenOffice I see the Zotero toolbar. When I click on a botton the following error message is displayed:

Zotero Integration Error
Zotero experienced an error updating your document.

Any suggestions?

Thx in advance!

    1) You don't need PythonExt for the OO plugin.

    2) Check your Java and Java plugin installation, and look at the other recent threads on OpenOffice/Java issues on Linux.
  • Thx Dan, but I still cannot make it work.

    Java is working. The recommende page says I use Java Version 1.6.0_16 from Sun Microsystems Inc. Iceweasel tells me that I use Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_16.

    I reinstalled the OO plugin. The first time I click a botton the following error is reported in the Zotero Error Report:

    [JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "'Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException].' when calling method: [nsIFactory::createInstance]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/integration.js :: execCommand :: line 151" data: no]" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/integration.js" line: 151}]

    I am not sure if it was indclude in the error report last time. With the second click I get again:

    [JavaScript Error: "this.javaObj is undefined" {file: "file:///home/zoelligc/.mozilla/firefox/0mu9f1z3.default/extensions/zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration@zotero.org/components/zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration.js" line: 224}]

    I sent another report with ID 1072031134.
  • It works now!

    The reason seemed to be a wrong path for the Java UNO Runtime Directory.

    Use:

    Java UNO Runtime Directory: file:///usr/lib/ure/share/java/

    soffice Executable Directory: file:///usr/lib/openoffice/program/

    Don't forget to restart Iceweasel.

    I noted that the command locate ridl.jar did not list the right directory.

    cheers
  • Dear Simon,

    I got the following error message when trying to insert a citation using NeoOffice 3.2 on OSX 10.6.7. I reinstalled Open Office plugin 3.5a1 in Firefox 3.6.16 to no avail.
