Hi there,
just wanted to report that the genuine OOo 2.1 can be invoked via Java
from the command line, whereas the Ubuntu version cannot.
Did remove the genuine OOo 2.1 and re-installed the Ubuntu OOo 2.0.4
version (the latest they have). The Ubuntu version places the binaries
into /usr/lib/openoffice/program and the Java support to
/usr/share/java/openoffice. Setting CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH+PATH
to their respective settings does throw a
com.sun.star.comp.helper.BootstrapException (bootstrap cannot find
office executable).
Could it be that they have no test case for running OOo from the
commandline using Java ? Could that really be the case?? Or is there
something that I might still oversee, which is important for the Ubuntu
version but not for the genuine OOo distribution?
Regards,
the problem is quite simple. The Ubuntu guys install OpenOffice or part
of it in a way which is not supported in all cases. For example the Java
UNO bootstrap mechanism depends on a specific layout (directory
structure, Stephan has pointed out earlier).
And yes i agree that they probably don't test it at all. For some
distributions (we had this problem before with Debian as well) it is
enough when OO.org started and the UI appears correctly. You should
submit an issue to Ubuntu and communicate the problem there.
