Ok this is what worked for me! To get Staroffice 5.1a to recognize java download 2 files from blackdown.org and place them in the /usr/local directory jre 1.1.7-v1a-glibc-x86.tar.gz jre 1.1.7-v1a glibc-x86-native.tar.gz go to the /usr/local directory and un-tar the files by running tar zxvf (filename) a directory called jre117_v1a is created where the untarred files are placed. Set up environmental variable uninstall and reinstall Star Office and during the reinstall it should tell you it recognized Java and do you want to use it Jeanette <Snip>
