They are interesting with or without the feature above.

[dev] OpenOffice.org Java JRE search paths
Hi all! As of now OpenOffice.org looks for a JRE in different paths. What I heard is that each micro version update unsets the OpenOffice.org Java configuration in Gentoo and one has to set the Java JRE again under Extras Options OpenOffice.org Java Serkan, correct me please if I am wrong. The Gentoo Java Team came up with the idea to centralise the Java JRE search path in one directory. This would be /usr/lib/jvm in Gentoo where Java JDK/JRE are managed without the micro version in its pathname. And named like jre | jdk-major.minor only. So, in short it would be these three points of interest: - change Java JRE search paths to one (set by configure option) - accept a symlink as the base directory for a Java JDK/JRE - to add a manual Java JDK/JRE install use the (already available) 'Add' button in the Java options dialog (in my hacked build non-functioning) I tried to patch jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/util.cxx There is a char array of search paths and symlink checks but without luck. Any help or pointers is appreciated! And thank you in advance! Regards, Hanno - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

I'm using version 1.5. Any jdk-1.5 version (but gcj-4.3 alpha) on x86_64 breaks in this or that way. Either use blackdown-jdk-1.4.* or gcj. If not and I'll have to use gcj can any fellow Gentooers explain how to install gcj as a jdk on gentoo? http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/GCJ_as_a_JDK Btw, at least with ooo-build the gcj oom killers are history.

IS this possible? Yes. What I do to hack on OOo is documented here http://geki.ath.cx/index.php/OpenOffice Discussion is held at this thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-489909.html Though, this is for ooo-build version of OOo. If you are interested in this way you may ask questions on that thread, please. ___ After you did ebuild /path/to/ebuild compile (hopefully successed) hack (described on my page) on the source. Then, you switch to ooo-build directory and run bin/ooinstall -l path-to-install-to That will link the compiled openoffice to that installation path as if it was a normal installation. Finally run this in a new shell to test the development version cd path-to-install-to/program source ./ooenv ./soffice.bin -writer # for example Now when you hack again on that one shell you can restart OOo with './soffice.bin ...' in the second shell to see the change. Take care not to mix up the HOME/.ooo-*/ directory with stable and development version configuration of OOo. Better use a testuser for that. So far, I hope I did not miss or mix up something.
