I was going to start a new post about all this and then I found this thread! My goodness, I've been trying to fix this issue on my macbook pro for 2 days now!! Lost so much time on this. By getting to step one here, it will enable the dev team to more effectively do its part. That is, the availability of a large and active user base can rapidly help ID and fix problems.

The big thing that OS software has to help it is its ability to use potentially apply large-scale crowd sourcing to this evolutionary scenario. But there will always be another, unexpected gotcha. Hopefully, the plugin can be made robust against the same kind of change in the future. Now that the source of the problem has been identified, it will be possible to try and track down exactly what it was that cause it. But as is the case in general for complex systems like this, tiny changes can sometimes have big effects (and big changes can also have no effects). This seems (from the numbers) like this is a minor change in JDK. My only point is that a problem like this is really impossible for any dev team to anticipate. For the record, I am not a Zotero developer (I've developed on GRASS GIS) but a dedicated Zotero user. So I fully understand your concern as well. In fact, this was a potential disaster for me too, since I depend on Zotero so much for writing paper, writing grants, doing research. I'm not feeling grouchy about this at all. In fact, this comparative (not absolute) reliability of LibreOffice over alternatives is what pushed me to use it more and more.

Commercial software is not inherently more stable and bug free than open source software. I cannot guarantee how long this link will remain stable, but I don't plan to change it in the near future.įWIW, the reason I switched to Zotero some years back was because of all the bugs and periodic non-functionality of EndNote. To make this easier, here is a link to the older version of JDK for the Mac on my DropBox: It also seems to provide a potential workaround that will let people keep using Zotero and LibreOffice together until this issue is resolved. If this can be verified by others testing it out, then the dev team will have something to work with for isolating and fixing the problem.
In this case, it is looking likely that a change in JDK, which does not have any obvious effect on LibreOffice, but which seems to interact with LO in such a way as to prevent the Zotero LO plugin from working correctly. That said, the first thing that is needed to solve a problem like this is to find out what is causing the problem. That is, there is no way for the Zotero team to know in advance what Oracle might do with its Java JDK, how that might affect LibreOffice, and how that might affect the functionality of a plugin that is an addition to the main Zotero software. But as someone who has designed and written software, I know that it is impossible to predict how every change to a 3rd party dependency can affect a program. Robust program design attempts to anticipate such problems and avoid them as much as possible.

Every time there is a major upgrade to any OS, there is the possibility of some (sometimes many) programs that do not function correctly because some functionality they depended on is no longer available in the way it was before. SUggestions?Īll programs depend on other programs to run correctly. What now? Getting to the point where this is becoming too much trouble to recommend to my students. It appears that the Java itself is not hanging LO, and it is the JDK installed (though LO decides it is pointing to the JRE in the JDK install). I know LO chokes on java regularly, and Zotero needs the Java to work.

Tried to install manually, and process hung (did not get LO not responding, but process would not respond). Removed plugin and reinstalled latest from here (3.5.12) and tried to reinstall automagically. Started LO and it requested a JRE and with JRE turned on (Location: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachine/jdk1.8.0_102.jdk/Contents/Home/jre), LO operable again, but Zotero not functioning anymore.įF then indicated plugin was not allowed. Everything was working with current Zotero / Plugin (4.0.29.10 / 3.5.12) for FF and LO plugin on LO 5.0.1 with JDK 8 - 92 on OSX 10.11.6, FF 47.0.1Įnded up turning JRE off, installing LO 5.1.4.
