Description: After downloading the anguageTool-4.0.oxt on macOS 10.13.3 with LibreOffice Vanilla 5.4.4, Extension Manager hangs when I try to install it. CPU utilization goes up but nothing else happens and LibreOffice Vanilla hangs. I had to ForceQuit LibreOffice after several hours. I tried downloading a second time, to eliminate possible download error but to no avail, trying to installing causes a hang. Extension Manager now shows a lot of languages but a check for updates on e.g. Dutch causes a simular hang. Steps to Reproduce: Download the LanguageTool-4.o.oxt extension and save it anywhere on your computer. In LibreOffice, select Tools --> Extension Manager from the menu bar. In the Extension Manager dialog click Add. A file browser window opens. Navigate to the folder where you saved the LibreOffice extension file(s) on your system. The extension's files have the file extension 'OXT'. Find and select the extension you want to install and click Open. Actual Results: Nothing seems to happen except that teh CPU utilization goes up to-around 13 % from an idle load of around 3% and LibreOffice hangs until ForceQuit. Expected Results: Installation of LanguageTools-4.0 Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Fresh installation of maxOS High Sierra on a mac Pro (late 2013, with only a few apps besides the standard Apple office suite. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
@Michel : I'm assuming that you have a JDK installed ? If you have, then failure to install this extension is normal because the LOVanilla application is sandboxed and won't recognize any pre-installed Java (which is also why it can't handle hdsqldb embedded ODB files or any JDBC connection).
In view of bug 114026, marking as RESOLVED INVALID. @Michel : either : - forget LibreOffice Vanilla, it won't do what you're looking for until Collabora decide it is worthwhile bundling a JDK with it, or - download and install LibreOffice from TDF and not the AppleStore.

I did not install a JDK, nor have I any intention of doing so. I don’t see a good reason not to bundle a JDK with LibreOffice Vanilla. I can only hope that Collabora: Please bundle a JDK in the next upgrade for LibreOffice 6.0,?
This page: https://www.languagetool.org/ indicates that for the tool to work with LibreOffice, it requires Java8+ so, at a minimum, you would still need Java somewhere on your system, even if you download and install LibreOffice from TDF as opposed to Collabora's kndly provided version through the AppleStore.
