KnownIssues
Known issues of OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs 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 :-) 5) Comment by david.cuen For those of you using Ubuntu Hardy and unable to see any JRE under Menu>Tools>Options>Java and therefore not been able to use this extension this is the solution: you have to install Open Office again manually (on the terminal) sudo apt-get install openoffice.org It seem like the preinstalled version that comes with Ubuntu doesnot have all the bit needed in order to run JRE properly.. I did it and worked for me> More infor here: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=816 6) Ubuntu Jaunty - solution by longinus4.MMzX Hey, I finally got OOo2gd work on Jaunty. Install the package which named "openoffice.org" from the repo, then OOo2gd will be installed properly. 7) Ubuntu 9.10 - if something doesn't work you probably have something broken in your installation. Make sure that you have Sun Java, and that your OpenOffice.org uses it (look at point 3 on this page). Easiest way is to install OpenOffice.org in standard way, simple use apt-get install openoffice.org and everything should be downloaded and installed. Here description how I installed OO.org 3.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 8) On some systems (I had reports about problems on Ubuntu) version 1.9.1 doesn't want to work, but version 1.9.0 worked well. In this case try to remove file gdocs.lang from your home directory, and try if AddOn started to work. 9) If you are using Linux (example Debian) with IPv6 and you get Error popup: "Problem: Error connecting with login URI" try to use:

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.
Cannot export that is upload doc to my google account. I've got the error message: Problem: No enum const class com.google.gdata.data.docs.DocumentListEntry?$MediaType?.theNameofMyGoogleDocument. Any suggestions (XP, jdk 6 u5, OO 2.4) Thanks
xmaggx in my opinion its caused by wrong name of file. Detection of file type base on it's extension, if file haven't extension detection isn't possible. Please change name of file to new name with proper extension.
Change name of document, for Google Docs type of document is determined by file extension. If file haven't extension it's type cannot be determined.
I also experienced the problem when exporting / upload document to Google Docs. The error message : No enum const class com.google.gdata.data.docs.DocumentListEntry?$MediaType?.filename appears.
However, when I save the document (and add extensions to it example .oxt / .odf) and then export it again, it works just fine.
The problem could be resulted when you import / download the document from Google Doc and then edit it and then save it without placing file extension to it. But note that - even if you name the file say e.g. file1.odt while creating and editing it on Google Doc - then download and edit it using OpenOffice?.org, and then upload it again, the original file1.odt on the Google Doc will not be overwritten.
I've been experimenting it on my Linux 2.6.24.5 and OOo 2.4.0 but probably the above is platform independent issue.
Same problem here with Ubuntu 8.04: Problem: No enum const class com.google.gdata.data.docs.DocumentListEntry??$MediaType??.theNameofMyGoogleDocument.
And probably the same answer. Try to change name of file and add proper file extension.
Hi, I have a problem on Ubuntu Hardy (OO 2.4.0). The menu is displayed, but nothing happens when I click any of the buttons. I have Java 6 installed and working in OpenOffice? from the OpenJDK package. Also I don't know how to find the error log, starting OO from a console with 'ooffice -writer' just returns straight away and doesn't print anything.
For those of you using Ubuntu Hardy and unable to see any JRE under Menu>Tools>Options>Java and therefore not been able to use this extension this is the solution: you have to install Open Office again manually (on the terminal) sudo apt-get install openoffice.org It seem like the preinstalled version that comes with Ubuntu doesnot have all the bit needed in order to run JRE properly.. I did it and worked for me> More infor here: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=816
when you can import files spreadsheet of openoffice?
To expand on what david.cuen said, more specifically I believe the issue is that by default OpenOffice? is not installed with Java. After installing the openoffice.org-java-common package I was able to add the extension.
Steps to follow if encountering the Problem: No enum const class com.google.gdata.data error while exporting to Google Docs: 1) Save the file to your disk using OO and use a different filename. Make sure a file extension is specified (.odt, .doc, etc.). 2) then attempt to export to Google Docs.
I've installed the extension and toolbar is visible. The problem is that nothing happens when I press import/export buttons. I run Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit
I run into the same issue as many folks here. Have OOo 3, on Linux, with jre 1.6.0 configured - but nothing happens.
How do I get to the java console for error logging etc?
I have the importing/exporting problem too. It doesn't like it if a document doesn't have a .odt etc. type extension. Renaming the document adding an extension works. But this is a fairly straight forward cross-platform issue to fix I would have thought.
I like it. This is getting close to some powerful and free and SIMPLE collaboration stuff!
Having a quick look at the code I think the problem might be in GoogleDocsWrapper?.java in the helper function getFileForPath called by the uploader (line 99) as it tries to split the filename on a dot.
I am not a java programmer but this is windows centric logic than should be able to be coded around... Any suggestions?
Google libraries needs to determine type of file, and this is performed by analyze of file extension. If we will example try to upload using those libraries file presentation.odp those libraries will throw exception, but even simple change of file name to presentation.ppt will start uploading :-) will fail on Google servers side... probably? So it isn't Windows centric logic, one of most common techniques to find MIME type of document ;-)
I'm cannot install the extension too. I'm running OpenOffice? 3.0.0 on Leopard 10.5.5 with Java VM 1.6.0_07, on a MacPro? (Intel machine).
This is my error log on the extensions manager: http://picasaweb.google.com/kanete/CajNMacGadgets#5285770930313883090
@kanete - it looks that your OOo 3.0 uses Java 1.5 instead of Java 1.6. Can you check if you have everything set up like it is described in 3) ?
On Ubuntu 8.10/OpenOffice?.org 3.0/OpenJDK 1.6 nothing happens when I click any of the toolbar buttons or select any of the options from the File menu.
On Solaris 10 amd64/OpenOffice?.org 3.0/Sun Java 1.6.0_07 I can select a language using the Configuration option in the File menu. Nothing happens when I click any of the toolbar buttons or select any of the option other than Configuration from the File menu.
In second configuration: 1) Try to import document from Google Docs 2) Go to Configuration 3) Click on Error Log
in this window you should see error log of OOo2GD, I will happy to see it :-)
@kanete - I have the same error as you when installing. Mac OS 10.5.5. Open Office 3.0.0. It finds and uses JRE from Apple Inc 1.6.0_07. Is this the same as Sun Java and should it function?
Works fine EXCEPT I have never been able to update successfully. I am notified that an update is available, but it has always terminated with an error. Does updating work for most people?
@canadanelsons: Can you share with details? What operating system, what kind of error message, which version of OO.org and which version of Java do you use? I'm using OOo2GD on 3 different computers and it works well.
I have configured OOo to use Java 1.6.0_07 (Apple Java, not Sun's), but I still get the "Could not create Java implementation loader" error.
Mac OS X 10.5.6, OOo 3.0.1 (build 9379), gdocs 1.4.2
summon for help ;-) with MacOS support
I have issue (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."
Except that the solution doesn't work for me, and I do have a Windows system. What can I do?
I just installed the plug-in (great initiative). Unfortunately I get the following error when uploading from OO3.01: 'Problem: No enum const class com.google.gdata.data.docs.DocumentListEntry?$MediaTypeDummy?'
Any ideas?
@astrid.arnbjerg: can you verify if your file had extension, and this if in your OO.org you have more Java based extensions?
The add-on installed is 'gdocs-1.5.0.oxt' as seen in the extension manager in OO writer (it was installed through OO). I have no other plug-ins other than spell check and hyphenation. The OS is Windows XP.
@astrid.arnbjerg: So my first question :-) What is a name of file which you want to export? Important is that this file needs extension.
Seems rather hit and miss on importing files directly from Google Docs. I get a lot of "Error Converting File" messages. One minute a file will generate that error, and then the next minute it imports okay!
That's with the docs on my personal Gmail account. With my company's paid-for Google Apps account I have further problems. It shows my list of corporate documents okay, but when I try import one of them directly from Google Apps, it actually pulls in a Google Login screen as a OpenOffice? document! Very strange.
Hey, i am using OO 3.0.1, Java 1.6.0_13 and gdocs 1.6.0. I was able to upload my ODT file (zhodnoceniProjektuJaro09.odt) but now i cant update it. I can see a window "Uploading in progress...", it is there for some time and then when i click it, it says "Problem: Not Found". I cant see a way how to fix it (tried google and updates) and i need it to work because i need to colaborate with friends doing uni project. Can anyone help me please?
Hi, I have tried this about 6 months ago, it did not work then, it still does not work. I am using Windows Vista, Java 6 Update 11, google apps domain. Not behind a proxy of any sort.
Importing: I get the list of documents, however when I click open, I get a spreadsheet with the google docs login page... If I choose to open via browser, i get this message: ''You can no longer view this document. The owner of the spreadsheet has changed the sharing options.'?' If I choose to open in browser, it works.
Downloading: Uploading does work, but I get an error message.
This is not a problem when I am using the regular gmail account.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and OO 3.0.1 When I install the extention, nothing happens. It installs fine, but I don't see anything new in the application. Is there a step I missed?
Getting a 'bad request' error when trying to upload a Writer doc from Win Vista. My error log:
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: 192.168.1.101/winclientassignment.odt
Try to create DocsService? DocsService? created Try to login LogedIn? com.google.gdata.util.InvalidEntryException?: Bad Request Could not convert document.
@7andrew: try one more time....... but this time add http:// at begin of server address, so it should be http://192.168.1.101/
When I upload documents to Google, it return Problem 1
Could you give an example for what the address should look like when logging into google apps for my domain? If I use my.name@mycompany.co.uk this does not work. Neither does my.name@sites.google.com/a/mycompany.co.uk
I love your extension and use it often, but this would make it still more useful
First version should work. So my.name@mycompany.co.uk. Generally you should use this address which you use during work with Google Docs from Google Apps for Domain
null error -- trying to sync with google docs an open calc file, i tried my google account with user and password and user@gmail.com and password both instances i receive a null error i don't know what this means
@hcollegedude - which version of OOo2GD you are using? Which version of OO.org, which OS and Java? I tested it moment ago with OOo2GD 1.7.2, Java 5+ and XP and it works.
Same problem as reported by several others. I've installed, and the toolbar and menu entry show up, but when I click File->Google Docs & Zoho->Configuration, nothing happens. Also, nothing shows up on the konsole from where I started soffice / swriter.
I am using the Sun Java RPM (jdk 1.6.0_04 from Sun Microsystems).
I can't update a file that i previously edited also in the browser this is the log: Try to create DocsService?

I have Kubuntu 9.10 with OpenOffice? 3.1.
Version 1.9 did not work, but I just tried gdocs-1.4.1.oxt and that worked first time.
I'm using OS 10.6.2, Open Office 3.1.0 and Apple Java 1.6.0 17. Now i can install the extension and I see it in the menu program but when i try to configure the extension on File > Google & Zoho > Configuration I can't do anything. OpenOffice? crashes. :S
I'm having same issue as Kanete. The same set-up.
@kanete, @tjfinlinson Apple Java 1.6.0 for OS 10.6.2 is 32 bit or 64 bit?
When I start an upload I do get a message Uploading in progress...". After about 30 sec I get a error "Problem: Could not convert document.". Small documents without graphics seem to work fine. Any suggestions. thanks.
