OpenOffice and Mysql Connector/J (Java support?)

[Chris Wilson]

Hi all,

While trying to get openoffice and MySQL to talk to each other using
MySQL Connector/J, I ran in to a problem. To get connector/J to work
one has to enable Java (options -> security) and add the path to
connector/J to classpath. However, whenever I try to enable Java, the
state is not saved and it basically just doesn't work.

Is this a bug or does it have something to do with Java being unsupported? 

Getting this to work is essential to me. I know about ODBC but
Connector/J has worked better for me.
