Bug Description

One or more jars in the openoffice.org2.0.4-ubuntu2 package are outdated, for example ridl.jar (program/classes/ridl.jar) the manifest.mf file for the ubuntu version shows buildnr 9011 whereas the official linux release from openoffice.org has buildnr 9058. The manifest file is located in the directory META-INF in the jar-file (which is basically just a zip). This causes problems with (Java) applications that connect to OpenOffice using Bootstrap.bootstrap() (for more information see the openoffice development guide). When such a program calls the bootstrap method two or more times in its lifetime an IllegalAccessError is thrown from java.

I can confirm that this is the case. In fact I encountered the same kind of problems (IllegalAccessError) while testing JOOConverter

on Edgy. Replacing the JARs with the ones shipped with the OpenOffice.org RPMs solved the problem.
