I booted to my ubuntu 16.04 partition and installed openjkd.  I used the 
macro and it worked fine with no errors.  I tried disabling all plugins 
and still get the error.

I checked the docs and the method is supposed to be in that class. Not 
knowing Java I don't know how to check and see if it is actually present 
on my hard drive.  Is there a way to copy over the file that would 
contain that class from my working 16.04 install to my Mint 18 install?

thanks,  Jim
