Thanks for your bug report, and sorry for the late reply. I could not reproduce it on unstable, and it took me a bit of time to find an opportunity to test it on stable. And unfortunately I also can't reproduce it on stable. When I start LO writer and then JabRef and then click on the automatic connect button it succeeds, and I can then e.g. press "Cite" to insert a citation of the current book. > Furthermore, as jabref insists on appending "program/classes/" to > any path that you specify, you can only access them by supplying > "/usr/lib/libreoffice/" as the path.

When I click an "manual connect", I see: Path to OO/LO executable: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice Path to OO/LO library dir: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/classes > Possible solutions: [..] > 4) Libreoffice could be more consistent in where .jar files are > symlinked/installed.

The only thing I notice is that > ii libreoffice-java-common 1:6.0.2-1~bpo9+1 > ii libreoffice-writer 1:6.0.2-1~bpo9+1 you are using LO from backports; maybe the library problem you mention only exists there but not in plain stable or in unstable? In any case, if a LO jar is not in the right directory (or a symlink) this would be more a problem in some LO component (or ure) than in jabref.
