I found it!!! Still don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but at least the panel is now visible. In the build path of the extension, I changed the pointing of *unoil.jar* from the file included in the path of AOO installation (* <aoo_installation_path>\program\classes* ) to the one in the installation path of LO ( *<aoo_installation_path>\program\classes *). This raised an error in *AnalogClockPanel.java*, which was asking for adding the unimplemented method *getMinimalWidth()*: I added it, generated the oxt file and... Voila!... the extension now runs fine on LO 4.4 too. Just for the records, in LO I have now a problem with my custom extension (changing the font and alignment of the whole document and adding a page break near given text through a *XTextCursor* object and its methods *gotoEnd()* and* gotoRange()* do not work), but in AOO all works fine just as expected. Best regards,
