Description t35t0r 2005-06-08 10:34:39 UTC
Install openoffice-bin:

[ebuild   R   ] app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.104  +gnome +java +kde 0 kB

you will notice that it takes a long time to load when you start openoffice. I
think this is because it can't find the java jre. If you go to Options -> tools
-> openoffice -> java , you will again see that the window becomes "frozen" for
a minute or two, it is again trying to autodetect the java jre. It will give you
the option to add a jre. I tried /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.03 ,
/opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01 , and /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01 but openoffice
keeps saying that it couldn't find a valid JRE. I also tried the lib and bin
directories of all of those but no luck.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
See above.

Actual Results:  
openoffice doesn't detect the jre

Expected Results:  
openoffice should detect the jre

Sorry, hard-masked beta software - expect problems and report upstream.
