Unhandled event loop exception and Editor could not be initialized in LibreOffice Extension Java Eclipse project

Question

I just started developing desktop application which can communicate to libreoffice of linux using libreoffice extensions.

I am trying to run Github LibreOffice Extension Code Sample. Its showing error "Editor could not be initialized" and log below.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Its also showing some U letter on the project folder and D letter on types.rdb file below in blue colour. What does that mean?

While running this project its showing error "Unhandled event loop exception" and error log below.

I tried creating some sample project using File->New->Project->OpenOffice->Extension Project. Still getting those same error below.

Also I tried this and this but still no positive result.

Any help would greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

Error was due to project was runnning as LibreOffice Extension.

To solve the issue I created a new configuration with name LibreOffice Application (Instead of extension). Its running smoothly now.
