My comment is about the message and not about Java itself.  The message does
not give me the information I need to resolve the problem.  It says that
something does not work, but not what is not working.  It's kind of like the
"Bad file" error message.  It does not tell me what was wrong or what it was
trying to do, so I cannot fix the error.

I checked an I do have LanguageTool installed, probably as a part of the
default install for Tumbleweed.

I disabled it, disabled Java, and the error went away.  So this is the tool
causing the error.  

Now, the error message needs to tell me this.  I would not have found this
without your mentioning it.

The generation of the error message is an issue with LO (or the extension).

ooffice is a shell script that runs soffice.  Years ago I got in the habit of
typing ooffice.  That never stopped working, so my fingers keep doing it.

Does what I have found here mean that this needs to be a bug for LanguageTool? 
What is generating the error message?
