Hi,
I'm using jabref version 5.0 and LibreOffice 5.1.6.2 installed on Ubuntu 16.04. When I try to connect a LibreOffice file with jabref, I get the error
Autodetection failed
no office executable found!
The exception stacktrace was
com.sun.star.comp.helper.BootstrapException: no office executable found!
