CentOS - Mar 2008 - Problem getting JavaRuntime EnvironmentinstalledintoOpenOffice

You may need to look at 'alternatives' and see if Sun java is still set
and set it again if it isn't.

If it still doesn't work after that try uninstalling OOo and reinstalling
it.

If it doesn't work after that, well you may want to try the 32-bit versions
to see if they work together.

Another good question, are you running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of OOo?

I believe the 32-bit OOo will only work with the 32-bit Java, not sure if that
is true the other way around though.

Is there a reason the GNU Java won't work for your needs?

OK, I ran the un install (do not have JDK installed), un install apparently went
fine, then I downloaded the jre-6u5-linux-x64-rpm.bin from
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp,
Followed these instructions: 
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jre/install-linux.html#install
then installed it.  

Ran a ls -l /usr/java, below is output:

total 16
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   16 Mar  7 17:28 default -> /usr/java/latest
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar  7 17:28 jre1.6.0_05
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 Mar  7 17:28 latest -> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_05

Ran java -version, output is:

java version "1.6.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode)

Tried to find it in the OO Calc Tools>Options dialog box, only Free Software
Foundation v 1.4.2

Maybe I'm not using Tools>Options correctly?
