If you have the Deluxe version, you could install the Sun JDK from the
commercial applications disk. I think that is one of the apps that is included
in the Deluxe version, but not the Complete version. If you don't have it you
can download a version that will work from www.blackdown.org.
If you have installed Java and StarOffice it did not find it during the
install. You will need to edit the ~/Office52/user/config/javarc file. Just
remove the offending version from the "ExcludeVersion" line. Then restart
StarOffice and select bookmarks -> Java -> Java Setup and then pick the
install.
