However, I am not a C, C++ or Linux guru, just POJO development. Also I could not find where to checkout newer OOo sources - at least to give them a look. At the location you suggested there is the 2.0.3 version only, including some "needed patches" - what frightens me (spend too many weekends on such things). I found a hint in the OOo installtion instructions: http://download.openoffice.org/common/java.html "If you have already Java installed there is no need to download the OpenOffice.org installer with Java." That tells the goal as things should be. Andrew mentioned experience that Java is not used by OOo in a robust manner. Also I wonder that I seem to be the only user with this issue. If you know a way to get to the information, how exactly OOo decides upon a "good JRE" I would prefer to take that way.
