JAVALDX is the module that is part of Openoffice that determines whether
or not a Java JRE is installed that it can use. This module is finding a
JRE but is not getting the information from the JRE it expects, hence
the message. It appears that this failure is also causing things like
the Openwriter configuration to not retain the JRE selection. I have yet
to try Base which has more of a Java dependency than writer does. I have
done some searching for this on the net and, found the source code and
the circumstances the error is produced but the variable names don't
mean anything to me so I can't identify why the error, secondly I found
an email thread that said the solution was to rename the Openoffice
JAVALDX module and the error stops. I tried this and the error does stop
but has no impact on the ability of writer to remember the JRE it has
been told to use. What needs to be done to rectify this situation?
