I had all the above problems after upgrade. Need my system for work and the only acceptable solution was to upgrade OpenOffice to 3.3 (from Oracle not from Distro) and to upgrade Java to 24. To connect you have to have the Oracle java connector (from Oracle not from Distro) for MySql then all works like a charm.
Hope this helps.
