I updated 2 PCs from 7.10 to 8.04 and got the same problem on both
machines.
Reinstalling the sun-java6-jre with apt did not help either.
I am using sun-java6-jre version 6-06-0ubuntu1.
Very annouying - any advice how to narrow down the root-cause?

Uninstalled (apt-get purge) all JREs and open-office.org* on the PC and
then reinstalled openoffice.org and sun-java6-jre. OpenOffice lists the
JRE in the Tools-Options dialogue but still does show the "JRE
defect..." error.
Then I tried to find the XML file where openoffice stores its config
data
