What do you think I have been testing for last year or so? :) I have tested OfficeImporter in a lot of scenarios (mostly on linux boxes though) but I cannot do exhaustive testing on all the environments. I know we have a problem with OfficeImporter on fresh boxes but you have to understand that currently I cannot do a lot of investigations regarding this issue. An issue like this cannot be fixed just by going through the code, I need some time to investigate. Please understand me, it's about priority, not about technical details. Why I pointed out the docs was because this problem never came across me until recently, so without getting someone's clear confirmation that we _really_ have an important issue, I'd rather not spend time on investigating it. > The server fails to start when you call the start() method in > DefaultOpenOffice manager if you don't provide an valid folder. > Note that there is a difference between profileDir and > templateProfileDir which you set in the configuration.
