Bug Description
Hello,
Both Mendeley and Zotero LibreOffice plugins are having problems with LibreOffice 4.4:
Mendeley:
http://
Zotero, for example:
https:/
(there is a comment saying "solved" but I think that the person reverted to 4.3 or used upstream)
(I've seen some other plugin with the same error message in LibreOffice 4.4, not sure if it was the PPA one or not)
Disclaimer: I work for Mendeley, but both plugins are very similar (Mendeley one is a fork from Zotero one in 2008 before i joined and they use the same technologies and approach: Python-uno for communication and then LibreOffice Basic to update the plugin).
The problem is that, if using LibreOffice 4.4 from the PPA and doing this:
unopkg add -v Mendeley-1.13.3.oxt
it shows an error such as:
"(com.sun.
Then it gets incorrectly installed, I just do:
rm -rf .config/libreoffice # to delete the broken installation
soffice # to re-create .config/libreoffice
unopkg add -v Mendeley-1.13.3.oxt # to try again if you wish
The Mendeley plugin is available here
https:/
(or download and install Mendeley from http://
Or attached in this bug report.
Anyway, using LibreOffice 4.4 from libreoffice.org works correctly, but using the ppa is not working correctly.
We use the Python pyuno technology that maybe is broken there for some reason?

I had problems with Mendeley 13 plugin, so I decided to downgrade Mendeley instead of Libreoffice. Everything's working fine. I had to tweak things a bit, though."

If so, it would be great to know what change in mendeley 12->13 broke the extension on Ubuntu. If Mendeley is in proper version control, that should be trivial to identify with the information above.
