#1162 Java startup errors

[Dominik Wujastyk]

I'm running JabRef 2.10b on three machines. On two of them, no problem. On the third, which is not obviously different in setup from the others, I can't start JabRef. I'm running Ubuntu 13.04, up to date, with OpenJDK 7 with the freetype patches (https://launchpad.net/~no1wantdthisname/+archive/ppa).

The following error occurred while running JabRef:

You appear to have the OpenOffice plugin installed, and that is what causes the problem on startup. You have to delete the plugin, which is presumably installed in the ~/.jabref/plugins directory.

The plugin is not needed with the latest versions of JabRef, since the functionality is built in.

Thank you!!!

Maybe this is related, I got this when I installed and was openning JabRef:

Is this related to the ADS addon or something else?
