openoffice macro exception only on ubuntu (screenshot)

[tfm]

When I run the following macro:

I get the following exception:

This works fine in Windows, the openoffice.org told me to do a vanilla installation from openoffice.org and remove the ubuntu package.

Thanks for submitting this bug. Before we can take action on it we need a little more information. Can you give more details? What version number of openoffice in ubuntu is this? This was on a Dapper system? What if any Java packages did you install?

[tfm (onlytabish)]

I installed Ubuntu on 5 system and the same problem on all of the 5 system.

The Ubuntu version I used was that 6.06
I guess 6.06 is Dapper, I don't know what is dapper.
I installed sun-java5-* Ubuntu packages.

The macro we are running is provided by openoffice. I haven't written the
code for this macro. Its there be default in openoffice as you can see in
the screenshots. I updated the ubuntu openoffice package as well.

Try running it on your ubuntu system.

Thanks for the abrupt reply btw.

As you have installed a Sun Java, you can try this:

Go to Tools->Options; OpenOffice.org/Java

Tell us what was selected (probably Free Software Foundation 1.4.2)

Then select Sun Microsystems Inc 1.5.0 (if it isn't there, click Add
and point it to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun.../jre)

Now try the macro again. Does this work?

[tfm (onlytabish)]

1.4.2 was initially selected. I changed it to sun 1.5.0.06. The macro
worked.

Thanks man, you're a genious :)

the files mentioned in the report are not available; please attach them to the bug report.

Somebody on the forum already solved my problem. It was basically changing
the default JRE of openoffice in Ubuntu to Sun JRE.
