    Installed the new java update and now openoffice says java is not installed - in oo settings it does not show up as jre being installed and I cant manually find it in finder.


    any help?


    java is installed but javavm folder is not there anymore (this is where jre is apaerently and openoffice needs to see it to work with DB) - wtf

    The good thing about Apple deprecating the Java run-time on the OS X platform is that there will be timely updates from Oracle (presuming they take it over) and **** like this shouldn't happen in future.

    ye - i should have thought to not install this till next week because I knew openoffice needed working java and this might screw it up yet I installed it anyway neooffice is doing the job for what I need.

    Apple shouldnt just do this though after all the time supporting it and making a point of it.
