Is OpenOffice asking you to enable JRE when you use OpenOffice? Do
you have the "Use a Java runtime environment" checkbox checked under
Tools -> Options ->Java? If so, are any JRE's listed?

Subject: OpenOffice 3.3 and Java 7
Hello,
We are currently running Solaris x86 with OpenOffice 3.3. We have
recently be directed to upgrade our systems to Java 7, but cannot
seem to get Java 7 to work correctly with OpenOffice version 3.3. I
understand there is a company (Adfinis SyGroup AG) that is porting
OpenOffice to Solaris x86, but I am not sure of its status. Once the
port is complete, will the software be managed by the Apache
Software Foundation and made available at
http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html. If so, is there a
timeline for this?
Otherwise, has anyone been able to get OpenOffice 3.3 to work with
Java 7?
Thanks,
Raymond
Raymond,
I have the below system and programs:
Desktop PC: PowerSpec B820
Processor: 3.3 GHz Intel Core i5-2500K
Motherboard: Intel DP67DE
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz DRAM
HDD: SATA 1 x 2TB
OS: Windows 7 Pro (x64) SP 1 (build 7601) Open Office 3.3.0,
OOO330m20(build: 9567) JRE 7 update 25 build: 1.70_25-b17
JRE is in both Program Files and Program Files (x86), also
Windows/System32
Open Office 3.3 does not recognize JRE in any of those folders, just
discovered this yesterday! Never had this problem before.

Raymond,
Use a Java runtime environment is checked, none are listed nor can I
add the JRE that I have, as Open Office does not recognize the Ver 7
that I have as listed above.

I am not a Solaris user, Linux, but my $PATH has the following paths to
the Java files:
/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin
"mileage may vary", but you might check your $PATH and make sure these
equivalent paths are included. AOO may use $PATH to find the jre files
and it the path to them is not in $PATH, AOO may not display the list of
jre files. As stated before, the permissions may also be incorrect. If
the jre is root:root and "other" is not set to at least readable, then
AOO would not see the file. This applies to directories in the path
too. They must be "executable" for "other".
There were problems with 1.7 and AOO in the past, but I would think that
those problems would be fixed by now. Of those problems, I don't
remember not recognizing the jre as one of them. They had to do with
functionality. Of course, something may have changed in AOO since then.
