Hi, I was able to install on Apache OpenOffice 4.1.6, Fedora 27 32bit, Oracle JRE 1.8.0_191.
(BTW, instructions somewhere should say it needs to be launched from the "Addons" menu. I was expecting it to be integrated into the native charts dialog, I thought the installation had silently failed).
It seems the addon throws an exception when the selection to be charted is non-contiguous. If the selection is contiguous, I can launch the addon, but if I add a non-contiguous column (or selection) and try to "Rescan" I get the exception again. If I try to launch the addon with the non-contiguous selection already selected, the addon fails to appear.
(Also, I cannot change the text in the textbox to edit the selection.)
I tried switching to Oracle JRE 1.7.0_75 but same issue.
