0) Google Docs is still in beta, API for Google Docs is also in beta. This means that sometimes you may not log into account (I have had some problems with Google Apps account, never with Google account), uploading of some files may end with error results, some format may doesn't work even if was working yesterday. If error message says something about URI, URL or Enum this in most of cases was caused by Google Docs. Google Docs is very complicated and innovative tool so sometimes it may have no too so good day ;-)
1) After installation of version 0.5+ of AddOn on some non-Windows systems it is possible that "Google Docs" menu isn't visible. To resolve this problem please open Extensions Manager (Menu Tools -> Extension Manger) and Disable and after this Enable AddOn. Next restart OpenOffice.org. Everything should works well.
2) On some Ubuntu/Kubunut (probably also on some other non-windows systems) AddOn menu "Google Docs" is visible but nothing happens then we try to click on options from this menu. If we look to console we may find information about error like this "Exception in thread "Thread-49" java.awt.AWTError: Cannot load AWT toolkit:". This problem is probably caused by the fact that instead of Sun Java OpenOffice.org.org use GCJ to run Java programs. To resolve this problem change used JVM to Sun Java (Menu Tools -> Options -> Java, and select Sun Java 1.6)
3) On any operating system AddOn menu is visible but nothing happens then we try to click on options from menu. To resolve this problem try to set used by OpenOffice JVM to Sun Java (Menu Tools -> Options -> Java and select Sun Java 1.6)
4) I can see message "Could not create Java implementation loader", what do do? Simply use solution #3 :-)

I am running Mac OS X 10.4.x it doesn't have Java 6. Are you actually using something in JDK 1.6 that you cannot achieve in 1.5 ?
Regards!
Does not appear to be compatible with Google Apps for Your Domain.
It works with Google Apps for Your Domain, as login you need to use user@domain It's only one "but", sometimes last day? AddOn cannot upload files.
Java 6 is must on, it's because Google Client libraries use some Java 6 features.
Does this extension work in Neo Office?
For those of you new to Ubuntu, if you go to Applications > Add/Remove you'll want to type Java in the search bar of Add/Remove Applications and select the Java 6 Web Start. Follow the installation process, restart OpenOffice? and then in Writer go to Tools > Options > Java as mentioned above and you'll notice the only option available is Sun Java 1.6.
The integration with Google Docs should work after that. As a value added bonus, you should also notice anything that depends on Java will load and run much, much faster.
It's not perfect but it's very slick. Can't wait for this tool to be refined.
I've tried this with the IcedTea? JRE implementation - which is Java 1.7 and this does not work. Putting aside the irony of demanding a free-software desktop while using google docs - is there a reason this should not work with 1.7. I just get an "error connecting with login URI".
Just a quick note for Ubuntu users, when the extension opens Firefox, it does as root. After you close and open again, your profile will be completely messed up. When Firefox save stuff it does as root, when you open again as a normal user you cannot load again your profile because it was saved with root privileges. I have not really found a solution (tried to change all the permissions under .mozilla but not really succeeded...)
Awsome Idea dude ! Cheers !
I'm kind of missing keyboard usability. It's a small thing but I'm sure it would be really easy to set tab order and enable proper keyboard use.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me (ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu 7.10) I see the toolbar, the menu opens and I can login and see the list of documents, but when I click one open nothing happens... I've read in other forums that this happened to other users.
my log:
Exception occurred during event dispatching: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException?: Desktop API is not supported on the current platform
Anybody has detected only a partial list of documents? I connect properly (although for some reason it only works with xxx@gmail.com users and not xxx@mydomain.com), but I don't get the complete list of documents, only some of them, and it does not seem to be any particular criteria of why some are being showed and some other are not (i.e. different folders, types, etc..) Any suggestion?
thanks!
hey! i tried to disable/enable the extension as in the directions, but ut didn't work. if you could elaborate more on the exact method, i would appreciate
I can't manage to get this extension working: Problem:Error connecting with login URI
@Gonthar: are you behind proxy? If yes, what kind of proxy? Extension cannot work with NTLM proxies.
przemelek: I'm experiencing the same problem using gdocs 0.9.3 with Ubuntu Hardy's OpenOffice? 2.4.0rc2-1ubuntu3. Not using any kind of proxy, just a router (running dd-wrt, not blocking any outgoing ports).
Not working with OpenOffice? 2.4 on Windows, at least for import. My guess is that this is an API change on the part of Google.
Brought up "Import from Google Docs", entered login and got back a list of existing documents in Google Docs - all OK. Opened an existing document, and got a document containing the text:
Moved Temporarily The document has moved here.
The same issue here as reported by preston.bannister.
