I can compile and run java programs from the command line (java and javac are both in /usr/bin) in addition to running applets in mozilla but when I tried to install openoffice.org it said there was no java environment. Sometime in the past I must have installed java somehow. Where should I look for my java environment? Is there a debian package that will install it where openoffice.org can find it? Where should it be? (Running debian testing.)
I saw the same thing when I installed OO.org recently. I don't know all the "ins & outs" of just why this is, but I quickly found a solution.
If you select the other option and tell it where to look, it will pick up your current JRE just fine. I run the Java SDK from Blackdown here, and I had to point it towards "/usr/lib/j2se/1.3/". Just point it to where your JRE directory is located.... I only had to do this on the inital "setup", subsequent user setups worked ok.
