I follow you up to "standard place", which intrests me. The JPackage project try and package to FHS the JDK, I'd assume given a sane JAVA_HOME the OO.org compile should work, but I haven't really tried to build OO.org. Any pointers to docs onthe OO.o/Java integration appreciated.
Well, normally to get OOo to work with Java, you have to pass --with-jdk-home=<path> to the configure script in config_office/ directory. Since I pass in --disable-java to this script, I could make a switch to allow one to pass in --with-jdk-home, but where would the RPM get the path from? What do you think is the best way to do that? OOo will disregard a value in JAVA_HOME and find that path itself.
The alternative is for the user to make sure 'java' and 'javac' are in their PATH, since OOo will pick those up:
AC_PATH_PROG(JAVAC, javac) AC_PATH_PROG(JAVA, java)
and autodetect the path to the JDK from that.
