I did the upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy, last Saturday (2008/04/19) .

Since then, whenever I open any application from OpenOffice I get this message:

"OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version or install a new JRE and select it under Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Java".

I then press the Ok button twice till OOo open. Went to:
 "Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Java"

And select the Java package that appeared there. And press the "Ok button".

Close OOo, and tried open it again.

But receive the same message:
"OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version or install a new JRE and select it under Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Java".

After that I tried start OpenOffice as root trough the command line, so I can try to select Java, and then I get the following message in command line:
"javaldx failed!
[Java framework]sunjavaplugin.so could not load Java runtime library:
file:///usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so.urban@urban-laptop:~$ [Java framework]sunjavaplugin.so could not load Java runtime library:

file:///usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so."

And the same message when OOo open:
"OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version or install a new JRE and select it under Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Java".
