Hello
I got an extension which works fine on windows systems, but openoffice crushes when i try to use in on linux, tested it on Arch,CentOs,fedora results are same... There is no exception thrown in logs, also no exception happens when debugging from source code.What may be the reason?

Unfortunately can't link the extension.
Its custom extension, it just loads javafx window to connect to other software, can see the addon in openoffice menu but when it tries to load javafx openoffice freezes. Is there any known issue with openoffice & javafx in linux?

I don't know of any problem. If it works when compiled in debug mode it may be a timing problem and some carefully inserted delays may help.

No it's same when i run it in debug mode, the problem is that there is no exception thrown whatsoever, no errors in openoffice logs, but it freezes. Cant understand what causes the crush, os java or oo.

Thank you for your reply RoryOF,

Link to extension will be provided soon , but it is really does not meter . Even "Hello World" on JavaFX crashes same way.

Problem was resolved.
Java FX works perfectly for AOO Extensions on Linux

Managed to catch exception, it had problem with loading resources and class initialization. I think there is some problem which bugs classloader when javafx launched from oo. So, manualy setting classloader in init methods solved the problem.

ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
if (cl == null) {
cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(cl);
}

I don't know enough about Java to comment sensibly, except to say that when a program/macro works in manual mode and not in installed mode, there can often be some form of timing problem. A delay loop inserted might cure the problem - there was a recent case of this reported on the Forum when a macro was being used.
