Very happy to see this. But...

When I try to enable the plugin, I get the error: "Could not create Java
implementation loader"

Can someone help me decipher what that means? I'm guessing I lack some
dependency (but any such dependencies aren't documented on the wiki).

Sincerely, your faithful CC bug tester :)

P.S. Someone may want to close these open issues in the OOo tracker:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=29404
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66656

P.P.S. Any OOo cross-publicity for this? I'll suggest it for their
newsletter.

P.P.P.S. Any distros going to package this by default?
