[Solved] Java (JRE) issues using Database
I'm trying to use the Database in OpenOffice and get an error message. Requires Java runtime environment. The selected JRE is defective. Select/ install a new version.
I just updated Java- Apple Inc 1.5.0_24. It's selected in the preferences section of OO
Open Office is 3.2.1 and I'm on a MacBook 10.5.8
The other parts of OpenOffice work fine. Suggestions?

Re: Java (JRE) issues using Database
After the Java update have you a) restarted your computer, b) gone to Tools / Options / OpenOffice.org / Java [windows/Ubuntu path]and told it to use your installed Java? For a Mac the path differs; I think it is OpenOffice.org/Preferences/ something

Re: Java (JRE) issues using Database
Yes to both- restarted, and when I go through Preferences/Java/ the Apple Inc shows up and I've got the box checked for it to be used.
??
Is there an alternative Java I can upload?

You could visit www.java.com and see if it has a mac version of Java.

Re: Java (JRE) issues using Database
You could try reinstalling Java. Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4140 to download it.
Or try using Java SE 6 (6.0_20) if you have a 64bit (Core2) processor (MacBook 2.1 or newer). Use the 'Add' feature in the Preference file. The location will be similar to the location path given at the bottom of the Preference settings for Java.

Re: Java (JRE) issues using Database
Hello
I've the same problem with the similar error message - attached. Now I can do nothing with Open Office dbase. Mac OS X V10.6.4; 2.26GHZ Core2 Duo; Open office v3.2.1 (OOO320m18 (Build:9502)). All this started after loading Report Builder Extension, and then trying to install the Java JRE software, as per the OO help page.
However, the Help page is misleading since it insists on " Tools (I read that literally, i.s. as meaning a TOP menu bar item) - Options - Open Office.org - Java " the drop downs therefore don't exist! However, advice above has led me to ' OpenOffice.org ' (TOP menu bar, first) - Preferences - Java ' (there is NO MENU ITEM "OPTIONS"). Now I do not know what item to point to for the Add button data.
Java Preferences App says JAVA SE 6 BOTH 64-bit, and 32-bit v1.6.0_22-b04-307 are loaded.
As I haven't a clue where the RTE is, nor the file name, Could someone tell me what to input for the Add button data?
(Apologies for a degree of repetition, but this is the nearest discussion topic I can find, short of starting a new thread). Many thanks.

Re: Java (JRE) issues using Database
Unfortunately, not all of the Help files have been translated to the proper Mac terminology. 'OpenOffice.org/Preferences' is the Mac equivalent of 'Tools/Options'.However, the Help page is misleading since it insists on " Tools (I read that literally, i.s. as meaning a TOP menu bar item) - Options - Open Office.org - Java " the drop downs therefore don't exist! However, advice above has led me to ' OpenOffice.org ' (TOP menu bar, first) - Preferences - Java ' (there is NO MENU ITEM "OPTIONS"). Now I do not know what item to point to for the Add button data.
To install Java click the Add button. Then navigate to:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
Then click on the Home button.
Make sure there is a dot in the circle beside Apple Inc. in the preferences window. I've attached a screenshot of my setup.

Re: Java (JRE) issues using Database
Unfortunately, this approach does not work with OO 3.2.1 (release version). Since the Java update from Apple even manually specifying the path brings up the same error message, in fact, it won't even register in the dialog. The Java version has been bumped to 1.6.0_22, maybe there is a library missing in this build or it has changed architecture?
Is there any way to debug the Java loading process in OO?

Oops! I updated Java after my previous post. Java no longer works for me in OOo 3.3.0 RC1. Doesn't work in LibreOffice Beta2 either.rbremer wrote:Unfortunately, this approach does not work with OO 3.2.1 (release version).

Re: Java (JRE) issues using Database
Sorry Larry, but:
Do I read after helping me your OO / Java now no longer works? Sorry to cause that; but given the intervening messages, it seems there is clearly something wrong.
The folder "Home" goes deeper, and recurses even deeper (to infinity?)! All I get is a further error, see attachment.To install Java click the Add button. Then navigate to:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
Then click on the Home button.

We are aware of that, but OO doesn't automatically find Java on a Mac after the latest Java update from October 20th. So there is no JVM to choose from.floris v wrote:You need to say that you want to use Java, and you have to select a JRE from the list.

I'm using OOo-Dev_DEV300m90_MacOS_x86_install_en-US
After applying the workaround, when opening a presentation document I get a crash.
When I attempt to recover the document, OOo crashes immediately.
If I disable RTE in the preferences, I can open the document.
On the other hand, NeoOffice 3.1.2 recognizes the RTE without the workaround.

Re: Java (JRE) issues using Database
Thanks Larry! OO now detects the JRE.
Unfortunately, I am running into the same issue as Al. OO crashes when I open a template. So not much use.

Re: Java (JRE) issues using Database
After running patch via Terminal, from http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=115180:
OO also detects RTE. However DBase still crashes (several tries, eaxh time) as per report attached.
Is anyone from OO/Oracle/Apple watching this, or can someone report the feedback.
I have to do a review of OO Base, and can't work - my deadline is fast approaching. Help!

I've edited the first post- but whether that puts this back into circulation or not- I'm unsure.
I agree- just because I found a work around, I still want the proper solution.
