After re-installing my os (freebsd 10.3), aoo (4.1.2), mysql (5.6),

"No Java installation found..."
ok...
The
Tools/Options/OpenOffice/Java
dialog shows no installed jre.
I presume this is because they are installed in /usr/local/openjdkx
which is not the standard linux place.
However, when I go to add a JRE, it complains about the folder I selected
not containing a java runtime environment.
Which folder should I be pointing at?
I've tried
/usr/local/openjdk7
/usr/local/openjdk7/jre
/usr/local/openjdk7/lib
/usr/local/openjdk7/bin
/usr/local/openjdk7-jre
/usr/local/openjdk7-jre/bin
/usr/local/openjdk7-jre/lib
What, specifically, is it looking for to detect a jre?
I've tried installing only the jre port, /usr/local/openjdk7-jre,
but pointing at it doesn't help either.
It seemed to work after installing openjdk8-jre
But the question remains, what is it looking for to identify a jre?
Why doesn't it identify openjdk7-jre as valid?
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
usr/local is a valid place to install programs in *nix. However, I have
done so and found that some programs expect to be in /usr or expect to
find programs in /usr, not /usr/local, so beware.
Do you have a JAVA_HOME environment variable? If so, what is it
pointing to?
Mine, on Slackware Linux, is pointing to /usr/lib/java . By what you
say above, I would guess yours should be pointing to /usr/local/openjdk7
. I have reluctantly installed Oracle jdk 1.8.0_40, so some locations
may be different with openjdk7, but the concept should be the same.
My OpenOffice java path is pointing to /usr/lib/java/jre .
Normally, AOO searches the familiar paths for the java and posts the
ones it finds in the Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice -> Java dialog. If
a java is selected in that dialog, down at the bottom, it has a
"Location" where it found it. I would try the JAVA_HOME first, and if
that is set properly and AOO still cannot find the java, then manually
"Add" your java path to the dialog.
Another note about java and database connectors. I use
mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar to connect my AOO to my mariadb
(mysql) server. The jar files must be located in a specific place to be
recognized by java (the jre). Mine is in /usr/lib/java/jre/lib/ext/. ,
or ${JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/ext/. .
HTH.
