I'm trying to get OOo to recognize and use Sun's JRE on FC4 but I can't quite figure out how. I've built and installed JDK 1.5.0 RPMS using the SRPM from JPackage.org. When I open the Java options dialog in the OOo settings it recognizes the FSF 1.4.2 JRE, but if I try to "Add.." another JRE I just can't figure out what OOo wants to see. What directory/files is it looking for?
Also I'm a bit surprised that OOo doesn't find the Sun JRE in /usr in the first place. /usr/bin/java symlinks to /etc/alternatives/java which again is a symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java (I've tried adding /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/ in OOo without success).
Any pointers appreciated!

To which OOo 2.0 are you referring, the one from the Fedora updates repository, or the one from OOo's web site?
I have not tried what you describe with the Fedora version of OOo. I have tried gettng the OOo version to recognize the jpackage JRE on FC4, with no sucess.

Yes, the latest from Fedora Updates (2.0.0-3.2.1).
Sounds like it might be an OOo problem then, I find it pretty annoying that the OOo documentation doesn't specify what you're supposed to point to when adding a JRE...

I'm pretty sure that the Fedora version of OO.o is patched to work with the GNU runtime. This may make it incompatible with other JVM's.
You might try removing the Fedora packages and downloading the upstream version.

Ah, I see. Thanks.
According to Charles Curley it doesn't work if you install the upstream RPM's from OOo either though, so it might be something else...

What I tried and which did not work was finding the jpackage (fc4 native) JRE with the upstream OOo RPMs.
Indeed, on my laptop I have the upstream OOo RPMs and Sun's jdk-1.5.0_01-fcs RPM, and the upstream OOo finds the JRE. So Ian is correct.

OK, thanks for the info Charles!
