soffice --base, create new database, finish, give it a filename, save "works for me". Is there still a problem for you ?, if there is what java is listed under tools->options->libreoffice->java ? gcj is selected in that dialog. If I select Oracle Corporation's OpenJDK and try again, it works. aha. I wonder if there's a mix of bytecode versions or some such, or if its just some gcj suckiness, Definitely *used* to work at some stage. connectivity::java_sql_Connection::loadDriverFromProperties (connectivity/source/drivers/jdbc/JConnection.cxx:716) fails to instantiate Java class org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver (via JNI) due to
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver

This regression was introduced with <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=7dbfc0012cc75e7dac9a416b53149ad8ec33f071> "make hsqldb build with java 1.7": java.sql.Driver was changed incompatibly in Java 7, adding getParentLogger throwing SQLFeatureNotSupportedException, where that exception was only introduced in Java 6. Trying to use that exception in Java 5 gcj causes the above NoClassDefFoundError.
This has been fixed upstream as <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=93a0d9eee0f4dced348b040961f44f977e9504a7> "rhbz#836827: SQLFeatureNotSupportedException only in Java 6" and the fix will be backported to libreoffice-3.5.6.2-5.fc17.
probably worth having a look at the fedora hsqldb package because I think I lifted the build with java 1.7 fix from the fedora hsqldb srpm (In reply to comment #5) > probably worth having a look at the fedora hsqldb package because I think I > lifted the build with java 1.7 fix from the fedora hsqldb srpm That fix in itself is just right for building with Java 7. The problem is LO's somewhat broken approach of cross-compiling to also support older JREs via --with-java-target-version: While that sets javac's --target to generate old class file formats, it does not set javac's --bootclasspath to build against an old rt.jar. While this appears to work most of the time, it obviously requires the occasional tweak. libreoffice-3.5.6.2-5.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libreoffice-3.5.6.2-5.fc17 Package libreoffice-3.5.6.2-5.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing libreoffice-3.5.6.2-5.fc17' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-14896/libreoffice-3.5.6.2-5.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). libreoffice-3.5.6.2-5.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository.
