Bug#475008: openoffice.org: OOo does not work with installed Java
This is a "me too", but with additional information. I experienced the same
problem as did the submitter. But I realized that the problem popped up on
the day when I upgraded the sun-java6 from 6.04-2 to 6.05-1. Downgrading the
sun-java6 removed the problem. Upgrading again reintroduced the problem.
Killing the ~/openoffice.org2 directory repaired the problem, too, but that is
not a good solution. It is an upgrade problem, not "a problem with his
profile". And it is a problem that will hit more or less all users of
openoffice.org.
best regards
