My builds are for PPC, you use it on Intel. This could be the reason.

Eek! I'm probably lucky most other things work. ;)

I did wonder if they were Intel builds or not, but it worked, which is what matters.

Build probably runs under Rosetta, but Java/Java libs do not work this way.

Yes, some types of integration don't work well under Rosetta.

Terry may well be right when he said:

It occurs to me that a later version of Java RE may be required.

even though I have Java 1.5.0_06, but as Harold said:

In Tools>Options>OpenOffice.org>Java there's a list of installed JREs. The leftmost column of this list contains "radio buttons". Make sure one of these buttons is "pressed" (has a black dot in it). Even if there is only one JRE installed, if its radio button is not pressed you will get the "JRE defective" message.

Took me a couple of hours to stumble across this the other day after I upgraded my JRE (for totally other reasons) and started getting the "defective" message from OOo.

So that could definitely be the case for some situation. However, I did check that preference carefully, and I did, and still do have that radio button selected.

I think in my case, the problem is that I'm running a PPC build on an Intel Mac, as Pavel said. I'm not complaining, since his special provision of this build made it possible for me to get some QA done before the OOo 2.1 release. Thankyou, Pavel. :)

Now I can look forward to running OOo 2.1 with our first official translation, with an Intel build! :D
