Re: [libreoffice-users] Java

[Robert Großkopf]

Hi Joe,


What is the correct procedure to install java so that LibreOffice can 
recognize and use it.


UBUNTU 22.04LTS, LibreOffice Community 7.3.7.2


I havn't installed Ubuntu before. But for testing a server I installed 
UBUNTU 22.04 on an old notebook. It installed LibreOffice complete, 
together with Base. And Base could start, a table could be created in 
internal HSQLDB.


This is the Java version it will show:
Ubuntu 11.0.17
saved at /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

Might be this is the way to get it separate:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jre


Regards

Robert

Re: [libreoffice-users] Java JRE not found on mac

Hi Simone,

here two links with different solutions on the same platform you mentioned:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/base-issue-no-java-installation-could-be-found/77351
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/libreoffice-requires-oracles-jdk-on-mac-os-x/43388

There seems to be also special problems with LibreOffice from AppStore:

… and others

Re: [libreoffice-users] Java aches are back with LO7

This says that my installed java is DEFECTIVE and I should install a

Of course, my java installation is working JUST FINE and has been
functional with OpenOffice and Zotero.

So, there is obviously something that was tweaked in LO7 that does not
like Oracle java 14.0.1.

What might that be, and where might one find the issue documented?


The docs do not say anything about LO7 ,

and also do not say anything about a version after JAVA 8

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/InstallJava#Using_macOS


 Java version support

 * For LibreOffice prior to v.6.3, minimal supported Java version is 5
   (clarification needed about older support history).
 * For LibreOffice v.6.3, minimal supported Java version is 6
 * For LibreOffice v.6.4, minimal supported Java version is 8

Re: [libreoffice-users] Java for browsers different than for LibreOffice?

[Robert Großkopf]

Hi Peggy,

you could install bith versions of Java without any problem on the same
machine. If your LO is 64bit you need 64bit-Java for this one; if the
browser is 32bit you need 32bit for the browser.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Java broke on LO 5.1 on Macs

[Rob Jasper]

The goal of the JRE is, as the name Java Runtime Environment says, that it 
should be sufficient to run Java functionality.
In all discussions I miss why LO needs more then the runtime environment...
We should work to bring LO in the boundary of of the JRE.

Funny, I have been using LibreOffice 5.1 since Beta 1 on two different
MacBooks without any issue. Only if I use a wizard LibreOffice asks for
Java, otherwise the program runs fine (no Java installed on one Mac). I
will look if anyone has filed a bug.

I think you need to install 32-bit or 64-bit Java as appropriate to 
match LibreOffice. You can install both on a 64-bit system, so that both 
32-bit and 64-bit applications can use Java.


Wasn't there something a while back about LibreOffice on Mac not 
recognising Java 8 unless Java 7 was also installed, or something like 
that? I don't know if that's still the case; I don't have a Mac so 
haven't followed it closely. From what I recall I think it was a bug in 
Java, not something LibreOffice could do anything about.


Mark.

Hmmm, don't the installers for java try to uninstall previous versions, if
it can find them (which it often fails to do)?  Interesting that 8 manages
to find and block 6, does it manage to uninstall it?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Java LO and OSX

[Marc Grober]

Sorry I changed the subject line there... I have never been able to get
the list to copy me with my posts and I just forgot that I had the post
in Sent mail.

The point of the posts was to note that in fact it is easy enough to get
LO working on Yosemite but it requires a bit of messing about,  some of
which is counter-intuitive.

To recap, LO was tweaked months ago so that java was not sourced when it
comes up (unless you make it do that, lol) which avoids the maddening
issue of seemingly being unable to change your java prefs. If you have
the current LO version, you will be able to open LO, but LO will crash
when you try to open any file without Apple Java 6
Yes, LO still requires the initial presence of Apple Java 6, and, Apple
OS upgrade blows the previous Apple Java configuration away
Once Apple Java 6 is re-installed, you can go into Preferences-Advanced
and select Oracle Java (if you previously installed it, it will still be
there as the upgrade does not remove it)
If you install a more recent Oracle JDK after you install the Apple
Java, the Apple Java will no longer appear in Preferences, and you can
select the Oracle Java you want LO to use. Why?  beats me.
Once that is all done you can open/create LO docs that invoke java
without the crashing.
Apple Java resides in its own location and will simply from that point
on be ignored.
Remember that you can install just an Oracle JRE,  or you can install an
Oracle JDK, which comes with the JRE. Your JDK is not updated like your
JRE may be. Check your JDK from time to time.

On the contrary: the list will certainly send you a copy of your own 
messages. But the new behaviour is because you have chosen Gmail as 
your mail provider. As someone has already said, it is Gmail that is 
the culprit. Google's support pages say When you send mail to any 
group or mailing list you subscribe to, Gmail automatically skips 
your inbox and archives the message to save you time and prevent 
clutter. You will have your own opinion of whether this is a feature or a bug!

 If you use IMAP for gmail, you will have a folder named [Gmail] 
which contains a subfolder All Mail. There you would see both the emails 
you sent and those you have received.

​Here's your problem. It seems like the languagetool extension is built
against Java7 (which is the currently recommended version anyway), and your
installation of Libreoffice use Java6.
(for more informations, ​see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file#General_layout, which gives a
helpful list of major version for java class files amongst other things).


And http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/languagetool 
states that version 2.3 of LanguageTool requires Java 7 now.  So it is 
likely that the code actually makes use of features only available in 
Java 7, and was not only by accident compiled without a --target=6 switch.


Though, of course, the rather cryptic error message when trying to 
install it is not optimal...

As for your issue, switching to Java7 is likely to fix it, and unlikely to

retrocompatibility (in case you have anything in LibreOffice that actually
use Java beside languagetool...).

 Suppose I have another class method (CO_test) I'd like to

 How can I do this?
 
 If I try the following:
 
 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
 parcel language=Java xmlns:parcel=scripting.dtd
     script language=Java
         locale lang=en
             displayname

         languagedepprops

         /languagedepprops
     /script
 /parcel
 
 then I can see both methods in LO. So I can select any of
 the two and run them. However, no matter which one of the
 two I try to run, only the CO.CO_submit method will be run.
 
 What am I doing wrong?
 
 I haven't found a single example on the internet or in the
 docs where a parcel-descriptor defines more than one method
 to call.
 
 Surely I could duplicate the jar and parcel-descriptor files
 and define one method in each of them but that seems too
 inefficient.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Vieri

 Suppose I have another class method (CO_test) I'd like to
 call from LO. I'd like to add CO.CO_test just like I
 declared CO.CO_submit.
 How can I do this?
 
 If I try the following:
 
 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
 parcel language=Java xmlns:parcel=scripting.dtd
     script language=Java
         locale lang=en
             displayname

                 CO

 /description
         /locale
         functionname

         logicalname

         languagedepprops
             prop
 name=classpath value=COLO.jar/
         /languagedepprops
     /script
     script language=Java
         locale lang=en
             displayname
 value=COtest.Java/
            
 description
                 CO
 test macro.
            
 /description
         /locale
         functionname
 value=CO.CO_test/
         logicalname
 value=CO.CO_test/
         languagedepprops
             prop
 name=classpath value=COLO.jar/
         /languagedepprops
     /script
 /parcel
 
 then I can see both methods in LO. So I can select any of
 the two and run them. However, no matter which one of the
 two I try to run, only the CO.CO_submit method will be run.
 
 What am I doing wrong?
 
 I haven't found a single example on the internet or in the
 docs where a parcel-descriptor defines more than one method
 to call.
 
 Surely I could duplicate the jar and parcel-descriptor files
 and define one method in each of them but that seems too
 inefficient.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Vieri

Hi :)
Errr, now that you have learned about programming in a general way and looking 
to consolidate details would it be a good time to learn something more solid?  
C++ or Python perhaps?  

Oracle seem to be having a lot of trouble writing code that doesn't get 
compromised really fast.  So, many people are getting rid of Java and moving 
away from it as fast as possible.  Even the US Homeland Security apparently 
sent a notice to tell people to avoid Java and uninstall it asap.  Of course a 
lot of large companies are a bit stuck and there are still a lot of adverts for 
programmers that know java.  

In my country jobs for Java programmers start at 20k but for C++ programmers 
start at 30k

Hi,

I'm new to making Java macros.
I compiled my Java class, created the parcel-descriptor.xml file and placed 
the .xml, .jar and .class files within the following folders I also created:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\Scripts\java\MACRO1

C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4.0\share\Scripts\java\MACRO1

When I re-launch LO and go to Macros- Run Macros, I don't see my MACRO1 java 
macro under My Macros or LibreOffice Macros.

Why is that? Shouldn't I at least see the listing?

Java JRE 7 seems to work because if I select the LibreOffice java HelloWorld 
example, it prints a message in my document.

Re: [libreoffice-users] java macro

[William Drago]

Tom  Vieri,

Let's not get the Java browser plugin and the Java 
programming language confused...


Java is an excellent programming language and in no way can 
be considered any less solid than C++. In fact, in many ways 
it is more secure and more reliable than code written in C++.


What people are uninstalling/disabling (even me) is the Java 
browser plugin, not the JRE/JDK. The plugin has indeed had 
many security issues, and with Flash and HTML5 very few 
people are using Java applets in their websites anymore.


So... Java plugin = bad. Java programming language = excellent.

Now that that's settled, C++ is a language that every 
programmer should at least be familiar with. Whatever 
language you choose as a primary programming language is 
determined by a variety of factors, but as a general rule 
you'll be more productive in Java than C++.


Python is also an excellent programming language, but I have 
too little experience with it to comment any further than that.


-Bill

Re: [libreoffice-users] java macro

[Vieri]

Hi Tom,

I just need to get the job done.
Right now, I can use whatever language, just as long as it's supported within 
LO. The problem with LO and OOo is that it apparently supports X programming 
language (such as Java) but there's barely enough documentation on how to bind 
it to the application. For instance, I followed a guide to run Java macros in 
LO but they simply don't show up in LO/run macros. That's beyond the scope of 
programming per-se. It's more of how LO deals with macros.
Anyway, maybe I'll have better luck with Python (as far as its integration 
with LO is concerned).

Thanks,

Vieri

Re: [libreoffice-users] java macro

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Regina know a lot more about all this so hopefully her answer will fix it.  


There are a couple of places to get written documentation but probably not as 
many as we would like.  This list is often quite a good place to get single 
issue answers but for a broader perspective Chapter 13 of the Getting Started 
Guide might help a bit.  I think Andrew Pitonyak wrote it and it's free
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Getting_Started_with_LibreOffice
 but the best place manual is Andrew Pitonyaks' book at the bottom of the 3rd 
party section for programmers
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Other_Documentation_and_Resources#Programmers


Good luck with this!
Regards from 

Tom :)

I didn't need to use BeanShell.
I edited the parcel descriptor xml file directly.

I finally found out why I wasn't seeing the macro (or at least I think so). I 
needed to create my class within default package (I'm using NetBeans IDE).

I'm able to launch my Java macros now.

I only found the very old guides

Hi Regina,

I followed those guides too but the sentence The OpenOffice.org Scripting 
module has been tested with NetBeans 3.4. got me thinking that it may not be 
wise to use something that's apparently not updated (I have netbeans 7.3). 
I'm not saying it's outdated so I may give it a try tomorrow.

Anyway, I then found another guide and I believe it explains the netbeans part 
a little more deeply and doesn't really require a module (the only thing I have 
to do manually is prepare the xml descriptor and copy the jar files to the LO 
script dir):
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Scripting_in_Java_with_NetBeans_IDE
The part that I was doing wrong was related to point 10 in that guide. I 
wasn't placing my classes within default package.

Surely I read other articles here and there but with these two it should be 
enough.

Vieri

Re: [libreoffice-users] Java

[Girvin R. Herr]

I disabled Java (not Javascript) in my Firefox with no apparent 
consequences.
I may also note that Slackware Linux no longer packages Java with their 
latest release (14.0), as they have done in the past.  I read from the 
S14.0 Changes and Hints.txt file: jre - removed due to licensing 
issues.  (jre is Java Runtime Environment.)  Not supplying Java is a 
sign to me that it is not needed.  Slackware has always been strict 
about bundling Open Source GPL software with their Linux distributions.

Hi :)
I think Dan's point is key.  

If you don't seem to need it then don't use it.  I thik that's a good general rule.  A bit like if no-one is in the kitchen then why have the lights on in there?  

Micheal Meeks was saying that it's still ok to write Extensions in Java but you are not writing Extensions.  You are like me, just a normal user.  His advice does seem to contradict everything i am hearing about Java at the moment.  The devs seem to have put a lot of effort into reducing the amount of Java to the point where most users are unlikely to ever need it.  

However, Micheal is one of the lead devs and well respected so he is much more likely to really know what is really going on whereas my information is 2nd or 3rd hand and i'm not a dev so i could easily be missing some crucial points.  I think maybe i was a bit too harsh about blaming Oracle for all of Java's problems.  Maybe it was horribly broken before or that currrent problems were inevitable or maybe reported problems are over-stated.  

I switched Java off months ago and had no problems so i finally uninstalled it around December and still had no problems.  I think that is the best route.  Removing Java completely could be troublesome so it's best to have a trial-period of seeing if you can do without it before uninstalling it.  You probably wouldn't take the bulb out of the kitchen light just because you didn't think you would go into the kitchen at night.  It appears that Homeland Security in the US are recommending people uninstall it but that could be a bogus report and even if not then it seems they may not have considered the implications for normal or corporate users.  

A couple of machines at my place where Java is still installed grumble when i open Firefox now, roughly since the Homeland Security report apparently.  Firefox now offers to update various plugins and things such as Adobe Flash-Player, Adobe Reader(?!) and Java but then tells me it's automatically blocked Java for me anyway.

Tom :)

 It's a sensible thing to use Java for writing cross-platform
LibreOffice extensions. The only problem we have is with writing core
functionality in Java - since we can't be sure of the presence of a
suitable JVM on Windows machines.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Java

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I think Dan's point is key.  

If you don't seem to need it then don't use it.  I thik that's a good general 
rule.  A bit like if no-one is in the kitchen then why have the lights on in 
there?  

Micheal Meeks was saying that it's still ok to write Extensions in Java but you 
are not writing Extensions.  You are like me, just a normal user.  His advice 
does seem to contradict everything i am hearing about Java at the moment.  The 
devs seem to have put a lot of effort into reducing the amount of Java to the 
point where most users are unlikely to ever need it.  

However, Micheal is one of the lead devs and well respected so he is much more 
likely to really know what is really going on whereas my information is 2nd or 
3rd hand and i'm not a dev so i could easily be missing some crucial points.  I 
think maybe i was a bit too harsh about blaming Oracle for all of Java's 
problems.  Maybe it was horribly broken before or that currrent problems were 
inevitable or maybe reported problems are over-stated.  

I switched Java off months ago and had no problems so i finally uninstalled it 
around December and still had no problems.  I think that is the best route.  
Removing Java completely could be troublesome so it's best to have a 
trial-period of seeing if you can do without it before uninstalling it.  You 
probably wouldn't take the bulb out of the kitchen light just because you 
didn't think you would go into the kitchen at night.  It appears that Homeland 
Security in the US are recommending people uninstall it but that could be a 
bogus report and even if not then it seems they may not have considered the 
implications for normal or corporate users.  

A couple of machines at my place where Java is still installed grumble when i 
open Firefox now, roughly since the Homeland Security report apparently.  
Firefox now offers to update various plugins and things such as Adobe 
Flash-Player, Adobe Reader(?!) and Java but then tells me it's automatically 
blocked Java for me anyway.  

Regards from 
Tom :)

If you have regular crash, it can be helpful to find the cause. If you 
found only one, it mean only one crash, so it's probably not a big 
problem.


To answer your question, it's complicated to tell who is at fault for 
this one: it seem that a call to getenv() caused a segfault, which 
seems odd. Only cause I can see for this is calling getenv() with a 
NULL value, which would be quite hard from a Java program since the 
call should be wrapped by the JVM, but it's not impossible either.




thanks.  yes, I found it only once till now.  soffice.bin sometimes 
shows some strange behaviour...  I will see if i find other similar errors.

Howdy oh transparent one.

Known problem - not recognizing version 7.

The fix is in the code for the 3.5 release already.

There has been some talk about backing that fix into a 3.4.x release,
but I don't believe that a final decision has happened on that just yet
- could be wrong on that, it's hard to follow every conversation.

So - you could, given that Java 6u29 is still the official stable
release, add that to your workstations as a temporary fix - you could
start LibO, go to ToolsOptionsJava and explicitly change the setting
to NOT use a java runtime - this will I think help your start up, but
not 100% sure on that, especially under Windows.

Otherwise - ??

Best wishes,

Drew Jensen
