I downloaded OpenOffice.org version 1.1.4 today and tested the DocBook Filters shipped with it. I also tested these same filters with the Fedora Core 3 OOo package and found that the difference between its behavior and that of the FC3 package is that the one from OOo successfully exports but fails in importing whereas the FC3 package fails on both import and export. I _believe_ that the docbook filters use Java in some way, which Fedora cannot use or build OOo with. The XSLT filters are actually written in Java and therefore we don't build them. We should not be shipping the UI for this filter however, which should take care of this problem. Note that we are working on making OOo 2.0 compile with a free Java implementation (gcj), so many of these types of "no Java so it doesn't work" bugs will be fixed there. (BTW, are you saying that it this filter worked when using previous _RedHat_/_Fedora_ versions of OOo? Or are you saying that it worked in previous versions you downloaded from OpenOffice.org's website?) There is no minimal support of libgcj as a java replacement in 1.9.89-3. Your milage may vary as libgcj matures, but in theory java components can run under rawhide OOo. |
Description of problem: DocBook XML Filters don't work! They used to work in the previous release of openoffice.org. When importing (or exporting) the following errors are encountered. Error loading (or saving) document ${document.name}: General Error. General input/output error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.3-2.5.fc3 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the DocBook XML Filter from http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/downloads/DocBookFilter.zip. Unzip in either program or user folder for OOo. 2. Add either article or chapter filter by following instructions from http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/docbook/. Note that the stylesheets on the website need to be swapped: # For XSLT for Export browse to the chapter export stylesheet (sofftodocbookheadings_chapter.xsl). # For XSLT for Import browse to the chapter import stylesheet (docbooktosoffheadings.xsl). 3. Attempt to save a simple OpenOffice.org document or to open a valid DocBook XML file using the DocBook Filter. Actual results: Error loading (or saving) document ${document.name}: General Error. General input/output error. Expected results: An OpenOffice.org document is expected to save without errors and a valid DocBook XML file is expected to open without errors. Additional info:
