Hi, Thanks Ross,

OK I ran your commands:

# Remove Sun added links
rm -f /usr/bin/javaws
rm -f /usr/bin/jcontrol

# Add Sun Java to alternatives
alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/default/bin/java 1000 --slave /usr/lib/jvm/jre jre /usr/java/default --slave /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/default/bin/javaws --slave /usr/bin/jcontrol jcontrol /usr/java/default/bin/jcontrol --slave /usr/bin/rmiregistry rmiregistry /usr/java/default/bin/rmiregistry

# Set Sun Java as the preferred Java environment
alternatives --set java /usr/java/default/bin/java

And then I rebooted, started up OpenOffice Calc again, and i'm still not finding the new JRE.  And the Free Software Foundation is still showing, don't know if that matters though.

Were your commands intended to get OpenOffice to automatically have the JRE show up in the dialog box?  Or do I still need to hunt for it somewhere?

[root at localhost bin]# /usr/sbin/alternatives --display java
