environment.

Sometime in the past I must have installed java somehow. Where should I
look for my java environment? Is there a debian package that will
install it where openoffice.org can find it? Where should it be?

(Running debian testing.)

I saw the same thing when I installed OO.org recently. I don't know all the "ins & outs" of just why this is, but I quickly found a solution.

If you select the other option and tell it where to look, it will pick up your current JRE just fine. I run the Java SDK from Blackdown here, and I had to point it towards "/usr/lib/j2se/1.3/". Just point it to where your JRE directory is located.... I only had to do this on the inital "setup", subsequent user setups worked ok.
