Description Christian Fries 2013-09-06 15:12:29 UTC

Registrating a Java UNO Addin in an LibreOffice for which the JRE is disabled (by
disabling "Use a Java runtime environment" in Perferences->Advanced) will result in the error message

Could not create Java implementation loader

This message is unhelpful.

Fix: Improve the error message to s.th. like
"This add in requires a Java runtime. Please enable the Java runtime in ...."

Comment 1 Christian Fries 2013-09-06 15:13:39 UTC

To reproduce:

- Disable Java runtime in Preferences->Advanced

- Download Obba.zip from http://www.obba.info and install Obba.oxt from "Obba for OpenOffice"

Comment 2 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-11-16 14:00:06 UTC

I reproduce the problem with LibreOffice 4.1.4.0.0+ and the master.
This exception is triggered here : http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/s?defs=CannotRegisterImplementationException&project=core

I agree that a more clear error message would be better.

Note: in fact the extension is installed (try a second time to install, you will get a message asking for reinstalling or canceling). 

Best regards. JBF
