JabRef 3.0 cannot insert reference list to LibreOffice 5.0

[daniel-dong]

I use the latest master build of JabRef (http://builds.jabref.org/master/JabRef-3.1dev--snapshot--2015-12-23--master--1770f5c.jar) with LibreOffice 5.0 on Ubuntu 15.10 (x86_64).

JabRef can connect to LibreOffice via 'manual connect', and I can insert citations. However, when I click the 'refresh' button on the OpenOffice pane to generate a reference list, only the title "References" is inserted without any entries. Below is the console output:

I'll have a look. The error message gives a good clue.
