Unable to install Writer2Latex 

platorm: Linux Mint 17, english LibreOffice Writer Version: 4.2.7.2 Build ID: 420m0(Build:2)

I got Writer2Latex from here: http://extensions.libreoffice.org/ext...

Then tried to install Writer2Latex using Extension Manager

I got the following error when I tried to add Writer2Latex in LibreOffice Writer: "java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException"

Please advice. Thank you.

Contact author of the extension?
Comment 2 avtinc2000 2015-02-24 17:17:27 UTC
I tried, but has not got any response yet.

Perhaps you've got no answer but it's not LO bug but extension bug.
Comment 4 avtinc2000 2015-02-24 18:15:39 UTC
If it is extension bug, then the author knows how to fix it since 
writer2latex is an extension, right?

I suppose so.

Now, Writer2Latex is not an extension provided by LibreOffice, that's why I put this bugtracker to status "RESOLVED/NOTOURBUG".

Michael: just to be sure, do you confirm it's not an LO bug per se?
Comment 7 Michael Meeks 2015-02-24 21:24:02 UTC
Hard to tell without debugging in detail I guess; but if other extensions still work then, I'd leave it up to the plugin maintainer to comment.
Comment 8 avtinc2000 2015-02-24 21:49:32 UTC
So, can the plugin maintainer try installing writer2latex and see if they have the same problem?
thanks.
Comment 9 Julien Nabet 2015-02-24 21:54:46 UTC
Thank you Michael for your feedback.

I can't help here so "un-cc" myself.

That would be appreciated! Please see this page on tips for figuring out the best way to contact said author:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Extensions

Until we get confirmation from the extension author that they think the problem rests with LibreOffice code, I'll mark this as
RESOLVED NOTOURBUG

Thanks!
