![]() ![]() In my installation this is /Applications/LibreOffice.app You can use the Browse button to get there, or key in the absolute path. A popup appears and asks for the "Path to OpenOffice directory" actually you want to specify the path to the LibreOffice application.Now press the right one of the two buttons that are identical land look like power plugs (the left one is the autodetection and won't work).Open a writer document within LibreOffice (to which we will establish the link) this can be an existing document or an empty one.Follow these instructions to test and fix the issues: Moreover, it does not automatically detect the connection to LibreOffice automatically. In my case it looks like this:Īctually, we now want to test the connection, but the paths to two jar files of LibreOffice is different from what this plugin expects. Now you should see an OpenOffice panel if not, activate it under Plugins > Manage plugins. In JabRef use the menu Plugins > Manage plugins and install the downloaded version of net.sf.jabref.oo.ooplugin-0.7.2.jar with the "Install plugin" button.Īfter that you must quit JabRef and restart it. The original location is given under Links at the bottom of this page. In principle on the JabRef homepage there exists a version 0.9 of that plugin, but I was unable to locate and download it, hence I reused version 0.7.2 that worked with LibreOffice 3.x and actually succeeded with this one. The plugin seems to be quite old and written for OpenOffice, but it actually works for LibreOffice as well. Maybe now on Mavericks it is clear that all applications run in 64-bit mode.īut we need a plugin to connect to LibreOffice. run a 32-bit LibreOffice with a 64-bit JabRef on Mountain Lion, but with Mavericks I did not even get an issue about this. However, in previous attempts I had the impression that it does not matter whether I use the app or the jar version, but what mattered was that both JabRef and LibreOffice must be either 32-bit or 64-bit applications. I actually use JabRef 2.9.2 as a MacOS app (not the jar version). ![]() Thus, my LibreOffice seems to be ready for a connection. In my case, one line is shown sayingĪnd the round checkbox is checked. There is a delay since LibreOffice actually checks for a JRE. In the field below that entry under the title "Java runtime environments (JRE) already installed:" you should see at least one entry shortly after having opened the menu. The checkbox "Use a Java runtime environment" must be checked. To test whether this is present go to the menu Thus, JabRef 5.2 and LibreOffice 7.0.1.2 (my current installation) work together again on MacOS 10.15.7 (Catalina).įor the connection between JabRef and LibreOffice to work you must have a Java Runtime Environment. However, the bug was identified an listed, and now as of JabRef 5.2 is available from here: which solved this bug. Newer versions did no longer require such a hack, but then when JabRef 5.0 came out, no connection to LibreOffice 7 was possible under MacOS X, also not in JabRef 5.1. Important note: the information below was addressing an issue with older LibreOffice versions. I did this on a Mac running Mavericks, but the information may also be helpful for Linux users. Thus, here I report on how I succeeded with JabRef 2.9 and LibreOffice 4.3.2.2 to allow me to send literature entries from JabRef to LibreOffice. It appears that some downloads and information are not available (anymore) or I misunderstand things. JabRef stores the information in the BibTeX format and hence is easily accessible to LaTeX, but I tend to struggle with the connection between JabRef and LibreOffice. I use JabRef to organize my literature data both for use with LaTeX and with LibreOffice. Connecting JabRef with LibreOffice Notes from Werner Eugster, ETH Zürich ![]()
