I am not able to install LanguageTool extension for LibreOffice. Getting exception when I try to install it.

p.s. Somebody says that the solution is installing openoffice.org-java-common package but Ubuntu 14.04 does not have this package in its repository.

System details:

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

LibreOffice: 4.2 (4.2.3.3)

LanguageTool: 2.5

Java: Oracle JDK 1.8.0_05

First of all, the most important:

sudo apt-get installlibreoffice-java-commonjava-common
Go to LibreOffice Options menu, choose Advanced and be sure Use Java runtime environment is checked and a Java version is selected.
Now install your extension either by double-clicking on it in File Manager or by importing it in LibreOffice Extension Manager dialog.

That may be an OpenJDK issue. Sometimes the Oracle JDK is required in order to get something to work.

Generally the JDKs are downwards compatible, you could as well use version 8.

Here is a tutorial how to install it: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/linux_jdk.html

If you already installed (read: put it somewhere on your drive) the Oracle JDK, you can choose it with

update-alternatives --config java

I had problems with that before, if the JDK you want isn't listed, you have to add it to update-alternatives first:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /path/to/your/jdk/bin 1

Replace /path/to/your with your path.
