python 3.x - libreoffice java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException when installing an extension

Question

When installing an extension I've used on many systems, I got java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException error installing on Ubuntu 18.

Answer 1

After some digging I found the following at https://github.com/zotero/zotero-libreoffice-integration/issues/57:

sudo apt install libreoffice-java-common

The LibreOffice that comes with Ubuntu 18 seems to be trim lined. In addition to adding the java common, I need to add python to be able to write macros in python3. FYI: to added python use:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-script-provider-python

as shown on AskUbuntu.
