Created attachment 61063 [details] Test file is an empty document with an embedd 'HelloWorld' java macro. Running libreoffice 3.5.2.2 Problem description: The HelloWorld java macro that runs just fine when invoked from its normal location (under libreoffice/share/Scripts/) but fails with a scripting error if the same macro is embedded in an .odt and run from there. A popup says: "A Scripting framework error occurred while running the Java script org.libreoffice.example.java_scripts.HelloWorld.printHW. Message: org.libreoffice.example.java_scripts.HelloWorld.printHW" Running this macro in the same .odt in an earlier version (3.4.4) of libreoffice (and an old openoffice) works just fine. I have to admit that embedding a macro in a document is not something that I can find any documentation on. Although this is something that I have done for several years with OpenOffice and LibreOffice with no problem, perhaps it was an undocumented feature that has been removed? Steps to reproduce: 1. First test the existing macro: Open writer. Tools/Macro/Run Macros/LibreOffice Macros/HelloWorld/org.libreoffice.example.java_scripts.HelloWorld.printHW The text "Hello World (in Java)" is written into the open document. This is as expected. 2. I do not know the 'correct' method for embedding a macro in a document (if there is one), but this works on earlier versions of libre office: - save an empty .odt - unzip the .odt - copy the HelloWorld.jar and parcel-decsriptor.xml from /opt... to the unzipped files Scripts/java/ - make suitable changes to the META-INF/manifest.xml - zip it back up to the .odt To save you the bother, a test.odt is attached to this report. 3. Change your libreoffice security options to allow macros to run from a given directory as a 'trusted source'. Save a copy of test.odt there. 4. Open test.odt. Tools/Macro/Run Macros/test.odt/HelloWorld/org.libreoffice.example.java_scripts.HelloWorld.printHW The above error popup is displayed. Current behavior: Macro fails to run. Expected behavior: Expect the macro to run and write "Hello World (in Java)" into the .odt. This works in version 3.4.4 Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0 Also true on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit with the same result. Also tried removing Ubuntu libreoffice packages, downloading everything from libreoffice directy and installing those '.deb's. All give same error.
Still broken in Version 3.6.2.2
