AMD x86_64 twin core processor
Java 1.6.0_13 - installed today
OpenOffice 3.1.0 installed today
$PATH includes at end $JRE_HOME/bin.
$JRE_HOME=/usr/java/default/jre, - which does exist and is accessible (as 'root' for the moment)
$JAVA_HOME is the same.
When OpenOffice 3.1.0 starts up the subject line is sent to stderr!!
O3Spaces finds and uses Java, etc quite happily!
I have uninstalled all of the java and openoffice packages which came with SuSe - confirmed by YaST.
What have I forgotten to do - or done in error

All help gratefully received.
