JODConverter failing to start libreoffice-3.4.5 - Freebsd 8.2

[unite07]

I am getting an error when running the following comand:

java -Doffice.home=/usr/local/lib/libreoffice -jar jodconverter-
core-3.0-beta-4.jar test.xls test.pdf

I can make it work by starting libreoffice manually:

soffice --headless --accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=2002;urp;"

This is the error:

I think there is a bug?

I can still run on my side with below command with LibreOffice 3.4.4 -
Ubuntu 11.10

java -Doffice.home=/usr/lib/libreoffice -jar jodconverter-3.0-
beta-4.jar test.xls test.pdf

Hi,

How did you install libreoffice?

If you downloaded, then installed you could try this depending on your version: libreoffice3.4 "--accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" --nologo --headless.

Regards Richard Gathogo.

Love covers a multitude of sins.

I installed libreoffice-3.4.5 from the ports tree.

I have tried looking through the jdoconverter source code to see if
anything jumps out at me.

I don't think this command (java -Doffice.home=/usr/local/lib/
libreoffice -jar jodconverter-
core-3.0-beta-4.jar test.xls test.pdf) is using the correct path or
knows where the libreoffice bin lives.

In the mean time I am just starting libreoffice manually and am
working on using monit to keep it running.

Yep, maybe the -Doffice.home did not work!
I see in the source code of jodconveter, it will find the office in
below paths
Linux
"/opt/openoffice.org3"
"/opt/libreoffice"
"/usr/lib/openoffice"
"/usr/lib/libreoffice"

Windows:
"<SYSTEM_PROGRAMFILES>/OpenOffice.org 3"
"<SYSTEM_PROGRAMFILES>/LibreOffice 3"

Mac:
"/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents"
"/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents"

So if the office home was not located in those path, we have to start
office service manually as your case!

This version of libreoffice started being much more picky about
command line parameters. Specifically the -nocrashreport arg causes
the failure. Comment out OfficeProcess.java:91 to fix it. Also the -
env parameter seems to be no longer used and all of the parameters
should be -- instead of -. This is my diff from svn (ignore the
killExisting method)
