Excellent, I'm considering writing up a bug report for it if one doesn't exist. It's not a trivial solution if you don't know about it and it's quite hard to search for due to Java and OpenOffice pulling up around 2000+ other articles. Also the Ubuntu OpenOffice 1.4 still has "Tools -> Packages Manager.." rather than "Extension Manager.." anyone else noted anything else odd with the Ubuntu OpenOffice setup? I'll write a load of related bugs while I'm on the case. cheers, James > > Dianne > > > On Wed, 2008-04-30 at 10:04 +0100, James Tyrrell wrote: > > 2008/4/29 Dianne Reuby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I've tried that, problem is it doesn't "stick" - when I close > > the > > Options, and reload, I still get the message, and the options > > shows JRE > > as unselected again. > > > > I have had this exact issue and I managed to solve it by deleting the > > actual config file from the OpenOffice application directory in > > $HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml > > > > The file is recreated on OpenOffice restart and contains the correct > > path based on your next choice, it also remembers it in the OpenOffice > > dialogue.
