Please, make LanguageTool.jar directly available by the installation process of this package. Language Tool can be used as a stand alone application as can be seen here:
  http://www.languagetool.org/usage/
The OXT fie from OpenOffice needs to be unzipped somewhere in order to offer this. Perhaps /usr/share/languagetool would be a proper location. Note that deinstalling or upgrading the OXT will have to be reflected in the unzipped version.

Also /usr/bin or /usr/sbin should offer a shell script called languagetool that will call
  java -jar /usr/share/languagetool/LanguageTool.jar
with all arguments provieded to the shell script.

Makeing the JAR available in the proposed way will allow users to access the functionality directly from the command line. This will offer LanguageTool functionality also outside of OpenOffice.
