Title:
LibreOffice Missing Files For JavaScript Macros to work in 11.10
Status in LibreOffice:
New
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10
2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc

3) What is expected in LibreOffice Calc is when one clicks Tools ->
Macros-> Organize Macros
An option for Javascript is available as noted in:
http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Scripting
4) What happens instead is it is missing.
I installed 'rhino', with no effect.
WORKAROUND: For javascript to work in LibreOffice it appears I need
the file ScriptProviderForJavaScript.jar
Maverick had this file:
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/classes/ScriptProviderForJavaScript.jar
in openoffice.org-java-common
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/openoffice.org-java-
common/filelist)
But the file is missing from 11.10:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/all/libreoffice-java-
common/filelist
By taking the files found in Arch Linux:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libreoffice-extension-
scripting-javascript/
and putting them under /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/script-
provider-for-javascript on 11.10, I can solve the problem.
But clearly this should not be necessary.
The files should be (but do not appear to be) provided by some package
in 11.10.
