Jabref: No option to connect to libreoffice/openoffice

[diabl0w]

I have tried the jabref, jabref-latest, and jabref-git packages from the arch linux user repository. None of them have the connect to libreoffice/openoffice option available! Has this been removed? I am getting nervous having to manually include all these references for my report due in 2 days! haha

@diabl0w Hi, the function should still be there? Have you checked View -> OpenOffice/LibreOffice?

cc @j0hannes Any thing related to arch?

oh my gosh thank you! it is there! all the documentation that i have read unfortunately told me to look in "Tools > connect", so I was mostly just checking there. I know that I was looking through all the submenus occassionally tho, and I know that it wasnt under "View" either at some point, but I have been messing around with installing so many different versions of jabref and so many different versions of java and java-common etc. that I am not sure which combinations made it not be under "View" either. None the less, running latest java, libreoffice, and jabref it is working fine so I don't think this is an issue moving forward.

Thanks again! especially for the fast reply. calmed my nerves!

Glad that issue is solved. We recently restructured the menus a bit and unfortunately our documentation is not
always up to date.
Good luck with your report!
