If you use the default OpenOffice shipped in red hat linux 8.0, you are using an incomplete product. I can suggest to download the complete version at OpenOffice.org. Some hint may be found here and on the OO user mailing list which discussed this thread some time ago: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81484 The red hat version is more like a "demo" than a real office suite. They have removed any java support, not only jar classes but even those programs that help to setup java (jvmsetup and so on). I fear they have removed also the jni reference in the sources, though I'm not sure. I really don't undertstand this choice, there are a lot of company that support OO, and take advantage from the java components to do office automation (or better, offer services based on OO). This is a note for red hat: if you want to came across windows in the office market, please, give us a real and usable open office. The kind of users that have M$Windows and M$Office and do not use any of the advanced feature of M$Office are either too dump to change or can do their job even with koffice/abiword/*. We need real support for OpenOffice and for UNO (and what is worse, in windows it just works!). If you don't want to compile the java classes, let us do it by ourself, but, please, don't remove java references, or we would be unable to setup java.
