It's not a trivial solution if you don't know about it and it's quite hard to search for due to Java and OpenOffice pulling up around 2000+ other articles. Also the Ubuntu OpenOffice 1.4 still has "Tools -> Packages Manager.." rather than "Extension Manager.." anyone else noted anything else odd with the Ubuntu OpenOffice setup? I'll write a load of related bugs while I'm on the case. cheers, James   </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Dianne <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> On Wed, 2008-04-30 at 10:04 +0100, James Tyrrell wrote: > 2008/4/29 Dianne Reuby <<a href="mailto:pramclub@yahoo.co.uk">pramclub@yahoo.co.uk</a>>: >         I've tried that, problem is it doesn't "stick" - when I close >         the >         Options, and reload, I still get the message, and the options >         shows JRE >         as unselected again. > > I have had this exact issue and I managed to solve it by deleting the > actual config file from the OpenOffice application directory in > $HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml > > The file is recreated on OpenOffice restart and contains the correct > path based on your next choice, it also remembers it in the OpenOffice > dialogue.
