Description Barry Bird 2015-03-14 10:04:15 UTC
OS: Windows 8.1  64 bit
LibreOffice & SDK  4.3
Java JDK 7u21, 7u71 and 8u40  64 bit
8u40 6u45 32 bit

I've been trying to run the example Java programs, in particular DevelopersGuide/FirstSteps using the supplied Makefile which I've had to change a bit to get it to work, and also the settings files. 

soffice starts up. I can see it in Process Explorer, but no visible window appears.  I can't get it to respond, try as I may:
1. Compiled simplest example FirstUnoContact. The program runs to completion without error and soffice becomes visible in Process Explorer. Instrumenting the program with simple println commands shows that   com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap.bootstrap();  is called, but control returns not to immediately after this invocation, not to the catch part (no exception), but to the finally part and the program exits.

2. I tried a better example FirstLoadComponent.  Again no window appears, no message
"Connected to a running office"
 and there is no apparent attempt to create a document and put elements in it.

3. Started soffice first with 
soffice.exe "--accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2083;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager"
Running FirstUnoContact again produces no affect on the now visible LibreOffice window.

As you can see I have tried various versions of Java, 64 bit and 32 bit and even the archived version 6. No better result.
Am I doing anything wrong?

Bjoern: Any suggestions re: these SDK issues?

I cant be of much help on Windows, thus un'CCing.

This is still unconfirmed and bugzilla is not a support channel (that is ask.libreoffice.org). Once this is independantly confirmed, sberg might be a good candidate to approach about this.

Barry: could you please ask on http://ask.libreoffice.org/ about this?

Setting to NEEDINFO while we wait.
