Comment 2 global667 2008-09-24 16:11:54 UTC 
Thought was fixed while reading plugin comments for openoffice extension. Used OO 3.0 and OOSDK 3.0 with NB 6.5. 6.1
brings same result...
Comment 3 piper 2008-09-27 08:32:49 UTC 
Where's the fix, please?

Using SDK 2.4 with OpenOffice 3.0 and Netbeans 6.1 is not working.
Comment 4 Tomas Danek 2008-09-29 16:34:11 UTC 
please reassign further..
Comment 5 Jiri Kovalsky 2008-10-01 22:04:50 UTC 
Juergen, can you please take a look at this problem? Thanks a lot!
Comment 6 juergenschmidt 2008-10-01 22:14:14 UTC

Comment 7 srg 2008-10-02 09:25:03 UTC

@piper: your problem has nothing to do with the original bug. Your SDK is too old for an OpenOffice.org 3.0.
Please download the correct SDK (3.0.0 RC4) from one of the mirrors:

http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/

Look in section contrib/rc/3.0.0rc4/

HTH, Steffen

@global667: I have difficulties to reproduce this behavior. I have fixed the np (by catching it, always a good idea :-),
but I would guess from your description that your office installation is corrupt. Can you use the Office otherwise
without problems? If yes, can you look in "Help - About OpenOffice.org" for the exact build number?
Comment 11 srg 2009-03-25 13:17:11 UTC 
Cannot reproduce and did not get an answer.
