is an eclipse RCP aplication?

i have the same problem in eclipse RCP application.
The real problem is that Eclipse( the EclipseClassLoader ) isn't available to load soffice.exe because c:Program file/OpenOffice/ is not in the class path.
A solution is to change in Boostrap class the CLassLoader.
You can use: om.sun.star.lib.unoloader.UnoClassLoader.

Hi,

My problem was that I have copied the required jar files instead of referencing the OOo jar files directly where the OOo installer has put them?

Now it works fine.

Thank you all for your soon replies!

first you should use NativeView
show this thread:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=32906

second

URL[] jarList = new URL[] {
new File(ooBaseDirectory + "/").toURL(),
new File(ooJarsDirectory + "/juh.jar").toURL()
};

ClassLoader customClassLoader = new URLClassLoader(jarList);

add to Bootstrap class the method Bootstrap(ClassLoader customClassLoader) changing only this:

Sorry, but it is just a simple java project and I am using Eclipse only as IDE.

System.out.println("Connecting to a running office .........!");
} catch (BootstrapException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
