I just started to develop a Java project using LibreOffice's 4.0.1 UNO SDK, aaaand... I'm pretty much stuck right at the beginning. I think the same can be applied if I used OpenOffice.org instead of LibreOffice, so any help is appreciated.
I'm using Eclipse Juno 4.2 and I created a "Hello World"-like project. I added the /program
directory to the classpath (added as an external class folder), and right at the beginning this line of code
XComponentContext ctx = Bootstrap.bootstrap();
throws an UnsatisfiedLinkError
exception with the following stack trace:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jpipe in java.library.path

There's even a try/catch
surrounding the instruction but it's not triggered.
I can't find decent documentation about getting started with UNO, so I don't know what went wrong. The SDK is installed and the environment variables are configured.
Am I missing something?
Edit: I'using Windows 7 64 bit. Maybe this has something to do with the problem.
Well, that's it, the library jpipe.dll wasn't found in the directories listed in the PATH
environment variable. I had to add the path LibreOffice 4.0/URE/bin to that.
Adding the path to the java.library.path
wouldn't work.
So, after a very annoying SDK installation, which required a GNU make tool that I won't use and forced me to install MinGW, and a crappy zip tool that couldn't simply be found since the mirrors from info-zip.org (the source given by api.libreoffice.org) are all down, I still had these stupid and undocumented problems.
Once this was solved, the 64 bit thing was actually a problem, since jpipe.dll is a 32 bit only library and couldn't be loaded, so I had to switch to a 32 bit JDK/JRE in order to make it work.
Man. I can do without some interface user-friendliness, but this is just making the life of a developer unnecessarily hard!
This is why open source software sometimes sucks.
If you are using 32 bit of libreoffice then the u need to switch 32 but of jdk to work.Otherwise download the latest version of libreoffice of 64bit
