OK, as I feared. That also might explain some other problem I once had.

But to get sure, if I have classes/ as a normal dir and the jars/.class
files in there as symlinks to /usr/share/java/openoffice, that will
work, won't it?

Indeed. Especially since I *do* spefify the path without the link
in the config..

Rony, please file a "important" bug for this referencing this thread
(URL best).

I'll fix it for the 2.2.0 packages.
I'd like to fix it also for the 2.0.4 packages for etch but I'd bet that
this change won't be approved now that late in the freeze, but I'll
try...

Regards,

Rene
