openoffice.org-java-common breaks Vanilla OOo 3.2.1 (Oracle)

[nomnex]

Ubuntu 9.10 & 10.04 (I run both)

I have installed OOo 3.2.1 (Oracle) and removed the OOo distro (with Novell Patches) on both distributions. Reason: I prefer the vanilla OOo (Oracle) build, and I don't like the open-office.org-style-galaxy.

OOo requires Java to run the spell checker add-on, some wizards and the flat file HSQLDB database engine and the JDBC connector.

The software to install in the Ubuntu repository is openoffice.org-java-common. However it breaks my 3.2.1 see print-screens attached.

1. Is "common" a kind of meta-package?

2. What do I need to run Java (Open Java) in Ubuntu running an OOo version of my choice.

3. This is just an assumption (reason of my doubt, see point 2) but I feel like a constraint when I want to install a Java package on my system and it break the application of my liking pushing me to re-install a software I do not want.

Thank you to help me out

after installing openoffice.org-java-common, removing it and re-installing openoffice.org-debain-menu (my Default), it is broken. I need to re-run dpkg -iR /DEB in the "all deb OOo 3.2.1 (Oracle) directory".

Installing Sun-java6-jrc and Sun-java-bin solved the problem but I have a problem with the license agreement.
Is there a Java Open Source similar to Sun-java6-jrc (I only need Java for the features of OOo 3.2.1 - Oracle)

[nomnex (nomnex)]

OpenJDK6, but the version in the Ubuntu repository is not recommended to
run GUI applications, so I guess I am better off with sun-java6-jre
until java7 (coming somewhere this year), which should be open source,
is out.

You can close this bug, thank you.
