Where is com.sun.star.helper.Bootstrap to be contained in?

This is available since 2.0.3-3. Since a long time that is.
Of course, the 1.1.3 in Debian stable doesn 't have it but I somehow
doubt he was using this.

In any case, you better should read the mail; he doesn't tell anything 
about Windows or accessing the library, but he just wants to run
the bootstrap mechanism on Linux. On which unowinreg.dll is completely
non-relevant.

He did. That's why this discussion landed here again (after he asked me
what might be wrong)

Well, it *might* be the cause that OOo doesn't grok that classes/ is a
symlink. 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/openoffice/program$ ls -l classes
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2007-03-04 22:33 classes -> 
../../../share/java/openoffice

But a) the dir is there (although as a link) and b)

        cd $(PKGDIR)-common/$(OODIR)/program && \
          for i in jvmfwk3rc setuprc unorc; do \
            perl -pi -e \
              's,\$$ORIGIN/classes,file:///usr/share/java/openoffice$(VER),g' \
                $$i; \
          done

the path in the config is changed. I just kept the dir for people/stuff who
expect classes/ there for compatibility reasons.

Rony, can you maybe try to make classes/ a real dir and copy all the stuff from
/usr/share/java/openoffice into there?
(Then I'll probably have to change this to actually be a real dir and make the 
jars in there
symlinks to /usr/share/java)

Any bootstrap mechanism experts here reading this? Ideas?

Regards,

Rene
