Problem
When using "Doc Import" (or "Edit in Word") feature in the office connector, the JVM crashes. Apparently this happens only on IBM's JVM. Because the JVM exits, there is no output in the logs, but you will get a javacore dump in the logs folder.
Cause
This is due to a bug in IBM's JVM.
Resolution
Switch to a supported JDK as listed on this document: Supported Platforms
