 I gather that you need the full jdk version rather than just the jre.  I am using
 jre1.1.8 (it's my java runtime env. for Moneydance).  StarOffice5.2 wouldn't
 recognize the jre executible.
 

you need the jdk for development, the jre should work for running java applets
from the browser. You might need to tweak the javarc file that SO uses for any
particular version to work.

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
