We recently encountered an issue regarding the BI Publisher Desktop MS Word Plugin. The issue was “Could not find main class” when previewing a Word Template like below :
You will be able to resolve this issue by doing the steps below.
Click on the BI Publisher Plugin Tab and click on Options :
In the Option Window, select the “Preview” tab and check if the Java Home field is blank. This is most likely the cause of your issue.
Click on Browse and locate the appropriate Java directory from your Machine.
Once you’ve selected the correct directory of your Java version, you may now load XML files and preview the template properly.
