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...
