Actually, I'm running JabRef-2.10, but I don't think that matters. I 
don't use that button, but it's there, and it didn't take long to get 
working.

Step 1 (in LyX): I went to Tools > Preferences... > Paths and made sure 
something was set in the LyXServer pipe entry. It was empty, so I set it 
to ~/.lyx/lyxpipe.

Step 2 (in JabRef): I went to Options > Preferences > External programs, 
clicked the "LyX Settings" button at the bottom, and confirmed it had 
the correct path to the pipe.

Step 3: I restarted both (LyX first), to make sure the pipe was there, 
and opened a LyX document.

Step 4: There's a toolbar button in JabRef with a program logo and a 
tiny down arrow. For me, it's second from the right on the toolbar. The 
icon will match the most recently used external program, and the down 
arrow will open the list of external programs and let you pick. So it 
might not be displaying a LyX logo, if it defaulted to some other 
program. Assuming you can find the button, expand the list and pick LyX. 
Then select an entry and click the button, and it should push to your 
open document.

HTH,
Paul
