LibreOffice defective extension / strange JRE error

[ehmen]

I downloaded and tried installing this extension:
Libre OCR » Extensions

It didn’t work.

Since then every time I start LibreOffice I get this, but then the programs opens afterwards:



But on a different user account I don’t get this pop up.

Uninstalling and reinstalling LibreOffice didn’t help.

1. Why does LibreOffice have a defective extension that doesn’t import?
2. According to LibreOffice JRE suddenly disappeared from one specific user account after a few years of no issues. This does not make any sense.
   
   What’s going on over here?

This is the extension that doesn’t work. Is it malware?

Try install java:

Install the correct JRE

When you have installed Java, select Tools - Options - Advanced, then tick the Use Java check box and tick the JRE that you want to use, even if only one is listed.

That extension gets a very bad rating, all 1’s with comments that it doesn’t work. You should probably try something else.
