JabRef version 4.0-dev on Debian 8.9

Attempting to connect JabRef to LibreOffice 4.3.3.2 yields an error similar to the one previously reported . I tried downloading the 4.0-dev version and adding the path to soffice to PATH and to libjpipe.so to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and moving unoil.jar around, but still no luck. I'm not sure which file is not being found now, so here's the output:

I don't use LibreOffice much, so it's not the end of the world, but it is problematic when working on collaborative papers that require LibreOffice.

Thank you!

I've a similar trouble on my Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 with LibreOffice 5.4.0.3 although I've a JRE set in LibreOffice (installed separatly from java website jre-8u144-macosx-x64) which is appearing and selected into LO Preferences/Advanced 'Oracle Corporation 1.8.0_144.
Manual connect or auto connect does not work... and it was working on Jabref 3.8 before updating to last version 4.0.beta3 !
When I click on browse all the applications appears in grey in the Application folder and are unclickable on it...
Please ... thank you for providing a solution to this. This link with LibreOffice have to be a major feature for Jabref in relation with CitationStyleLibrary.org project.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have the libreoffice-java-common package installed, but am still receiving the same errors. I have tried creating symbolic links to the .jar files in the directory where JabRef looks, but then it hangs up while connecting.

I've now the two installation on my mac. The older version 3.8.2 is working correctly with LibreOffice but the new version 4.0-beta3 does not. Strange ...!

I just tested it on my XUbuntu 16.04 virtual machine, auto connect and manual connect and I used the latest development snapshot from http://builds.jabref.org/master/

LO: Version: 5.1.6.2
Build ID: 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial2

JabRef: Path to executable dir: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
Path to LO Library dir: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/classes

And as far as I remember, I never manipulated the library settings. I just installed the libreoffice-java.common package. The libs are already relative links:

That's really confusing. I will check tomorrow on my linux machine if I can find the problem

Consider that you have an older system, with older LO.
I have:

Libreoffice 5.4.0-1
openjdk-8-jre 8u141-b15-1~deb9u1

Okay, I updated to LO 5.4 from the ppa (still using Ubuntu 16.04) and I don't have any problems or error messages.

Thanks to your tests, I tried the latest resort: to reset the preferences!
Now, all is working flawlessy!

Just one thing: I remember there was an option to use a xml conf file in a custom path, but I no longer find this option. For me it is necessary, since in this way I share this configuration with other linux distros on the same and in other PCs.

EDIT: found! :-)

@Doc73 Good to hear that it works now. Regarding the xml file: You can export your settings as xml file.
As this works for you now, I would close this issue

@Siedlerchr
Yes, I found the option. Thanks!
Perhaps this problem depends on old configs not compatible with new JabRef versions and the solution is as simple as restoring preferences.

Hello again,

I had the connection working again, but with the update to 4.1, the ability to auto-connect (or connect manually) broke on me again. I'm using the same system configuration as before. Does anyone know what the trouble is? Is it a Debian issue? Would deleting the LibreOffice version install via the repository and replacing it with the latest version of LibreOffice perhaps resolve the issue? For the moment, I have reverted to version 3.8.2, which seems to work, but it would be nice if I could keep my JabRef version up to date. Thank you for the help!
