Comment 23 for bug 193139

I too had this problem with today's daily build (4-17-08). First of all, why is openoffice.org-java-common not installed with ubunu-restricted-extras? It seems to me that if you are going to enable java, you might as well do it system-wide, I.E. important programs that can harness that functionality. I was able to fix the openoffice java problem by installing the aforementioned package, deleting the javasettings_Linux_x86.xml config file, after I had installed the restricted extras. I was able to get it to work with Sun Java, which is also mysteriously not a part of the restricted extras package as well.
