Arch Linux User Repository

I found that the problem is java jre version. The extension is compiled with version 1.8, but my system by default uses version 1.7 despite I have both version of jre installed.

After running: 'sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk/jre' everything works again.

The funny thing is that after setting default jre back to 1.7 don't break the extension.

I have reinstalled the system and the error is back: The status of this extension is unknown.

I tested it on LO 5.2.1 and 5.1.5.2. This time re-installation of the languagetool doesn't fix the issue.

After upgrading to 3.2-1, LibreOffice's extension manager shows the extension disabled, with error message "Error: The status of this extension is unknown".

Applying 3ED_0's suggestion below worked around the issue:
1. remove this package
2. start lowriter then close
3. install this package
4. start libreoffice

@dbermond: fixed, thx

@3ED_0 The source URL currently does not work and gives a HTTP 404 error (not found).

Currently it needs to be changed to the https:// protocol in order to work.

Should works. Works for me, 4.0 with oracle java.

I've been getting the following error message:

This is related to java 9 and languagetool and on their Github page they mention:

When using Java 9, start LanguageTool using java --add-modules java.xml.bind -jar languagetool.jar. Without that parameter, you'd get an java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException error.

Is there a way to have this fix, somehow, when libreoffice calls languagetool?

lisu_ml: Dunno, works for me. Try instructions from pinned comment.

It has been fixed after removing and re-installing the package.

Since update to 3.5 it doesn't work for me. Extension Manager in LO says: The status of this extension is unknown.My LO version is 5.2.1

mittens2001: probably you right :) thx

Btw. imho this should be mentioned in PKGBUILD wiki
