can't install it

I try to install this version (0.6.1) under Ubuntu 8.04 (with OOo 2.4.0) but I have this error:
could not create java implementation loader.

Similar install issue on Win XP

I am seeing the same result as alaya.zied, on Windows XP Home SP2 with OOo 2.4.1, JRE 1.6.0_04.

After I accept the license, the installer goes to "Enabling ccoooo.jar" for a few seconds, then reports, "Could not create Java implementation loader."

A solution!

One has to have a Java Runtime Engine selected for use within OO for the extension to install properly. Go into Tools -> Options and under the OpenOffice.org section look for
Java. Even if it lists a JRE there, make sure it's selected and then try again.

Thanks to Nathan Yergler for the answer on this one.

First impression

Found a couple of issues with the 0.5.1 release of this addon.

Using OO.o 2.3 under XP if I select to insert the license from the context menu it crashes OO.o.
If I select the context menu to 'select the license' it not only selects a license but then inserts it also.

When the license information is inserted into the body of the document it also updates the first two user defined document information slots. This will overwrite any information currently in thos slots without prompting and then save the document again with out any prompt. Any custom data in those user defined slots will be lost.
