ooo2gd - issue #79

Crashes / doesn't work on OS X 10.6.2


Posted on Dec 17, 2009 by Happy Camel

Version of OOo2GD: 1.9.1 Version of Java: Apple 1.6.0_17 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6.2 Version of OO.org: 3.1.1 Is OO.org using Sun Java?: no, not available on OS X

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install ooo2gd (works) 2. Restart OOo 3. Click on toolbar buttons --> no effect 4. File->Google Docs->Configuration --> crash

This may be due to 32/64-bit conflicts but I am not sure how to debug this.

I've tried changing OS X Java prefs to start a 32-bit JVM in preference to the 64-bit one and it makes no difference.

OpenOffice.org on MacOS is 32 bit so it may use only 32 bit Java, for MacOS only 1.5 is 32 bit.

On OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) there is no Java 5 / 1.5 option. 1.6.0 can be launched in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode via Java Preferences. Switching to 32-bit mode has the same result. I'd be curious whether anyone has made this work on 10.6.

Interesting, I didn't know that now Apple ships also 32 bit version of Java 1.6. Did version 1.9.0 of OOo2GD works? If yes, you should try to remove this gdocs.lang file from home directory and try with 1.9.1.

1.9.0 (with Java 1.6.0 32-bit selected in Java Preferences in OS X) does not do anything - installs, but the buttons do nothing. This time though, the Configuration option does not crash the whole OOo, it just does nothing.

BTW I cannot find where gdocs.lang is stored on OS X, it does not appear in my home directory, but maybe that's because the GDocs stuff has never been fully initialised.

@dimitri.ognibene you probably use another Java based extension in your OO.org, and this another extension "hijack" Thread used by AWT and Swing. I have problems with reproducing this in Windows [it is possible, but I need to find another addon for making trouble ;-)], but I hope I will be able to fix it in future. As a workaround try to use OOo2GD as first extension in your OO.org.

I've only some thesaurus extension.. I think that the problem is with snowleopard which is a 64 bit operating system. I've seen around that this is a problem shared by several applycation.. I can't find anything more useful than this: http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2009/Oct/msg00506.html but my problem is the same of andypiperuk, the only point is that i also reported the console output

Looks like this is a problem with OO and not the extension. It's also got nothing to do with 32bit/64bit but rather the way OO is starting AWT related threads.

Check out http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92926 for details.

Any possible workarounds I could test/try for you? I'm dying for this to work. :)

Can anyone do something abou this?

OS X soon to reach version 10.8 and this essential extension still doesn't work.

If you do not have access to an OS X machine I can arrange for full remote access if you want.
