Description:
When trying to connect to LibreOffice from a modularized (jigsaw) java 11 application, it is not possible to connect to Libre Office because the jars are included as dependencies on the module path.
It will result in "no office executable found!". Known problem.

Trying to load the jars dynamically e.g like this way, https://stackoverflow.com/a/48323948 it will result in an  exception, because the jars are a) on the module path already and b) in the unnamed module.

The workaround was to "hack" the Bootstrap to accept an URLClassLoader and to use sockets instead of pipe.
UrlClassLoader as parameter fixed the instantiation of the Boostrap,but then it complained about jpipe not on the library path. Even putting it on the PATH doesn't work either.

Note that to include the jars in the module path also refers to Bug 117331

1. Try to connect from a modularized java 11 application
2. Create a single jar out of the libs, put in module path
3. Try to load jars from LO program folder dynamically.
