In investigating what's needed to install & configure OpenOffice, I see on their
Website that I have the choice of downloading it with or without the JRE. Remembering
some of traffic here discussing the issues of installing/compiling Java 1.5, how stable
is the Linux JRE on OpenBSD? Am I better off downloading OpenOffice without the JRE
& expect to build it myself? In this case, am I forced to install/compile Java
before installing OpenOffice?
Thanks for any shared candor.
You don't really need Java to run OpenOffice 2.x.
I have downloaded and ran OO with redhat
emulation, and after starting OO, it just says it
can't find JRE. The program will continue to
startup and in the "options" section, you can
click on the "java" portion and unselect "Use a
Java runtime environment"
I've had no problems with OO 2.x. I've been told
that certain applications will not work with this,
but I use writer, calc, and impress with no issues...

Bryan
