OpenOffice 3.3 and Java 7
Hello,
We are currently running Solaris x86 with OpenOffice 3.3. We have recently be directed to upgrade our systems to Java 7, but cannot seem to get Java 7 to work correctly with OpenOffice version 3.3. I understand there is a company (Adfinis SyGroup AG) that is porting OpenOffice to Solaris x86, but I am not sure of its status. Once the port is complete, will the software be managed by the Apache Software Foundation and made available at http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html. If so, is there a timeline for this?
Otherwise, has anyone been able to get OpenOffice 3.3 to work with Java 7?
Thanks,
Raymond

Maybe a permissions issue?
Sorry, I'm shooting in the dark here without access to a Solaris
system. Downloading and installing the latest Solaris on a Virtualbox
VM is on my to-do list...
I suggest you ask in the OpenIndiana mailing list
http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
and also the IllumOS list
https://www.listbox.com/subscribe/?listname=discuss@lists.illumos.org
I bet that ther are many more active Solaris users who also run
OpenOffice than there are Solaris users here...

We are running Solaris x86 and the Java version is the latest update of Java 1.7. The issue I am having is OpenOffice will not accept the Java 7 JRE via Tool->Options->Java->Add. When I try to add the Java 7 JRE, I receive the following popup:
"The folder you have selected foes not contain a Java runtime environment. Please select a different folder."

sadly, no.
My last solaris install was Opensolaris back in the Sun days.
Are you running Solaris Sparc or x86?
If you run "java -version" from the command line what does it say? Can you show us what the classpath is set to?
Finally, did you follow the docs available here?

This advice is total nonsense. Since when Microsoft compilers have ANYTHING to do with Java on non-windows platforms?

Thanks for the information Johnny. I saw this on the forums, but I cannot seem to find any information about Solaris.

under windows, java 7 requires visual c++ redistributable 2010, which is packed neither with it nor with aoo and should be downloaded separately.
there might be some similar requirements to update the libraries under solaris too.

I think it needs to at least be compiled for 1.7. I use Solaris 10
i386 OOo-3.4.1, with Java 1.7 it fails
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: ld.so.1: soffice.bin: fatal: relocation
error: file /usr/jdk1.7.0_25/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol
JVM_SetNativeThreadName: referenced symbol not found
I'm not sure if it compiles with 1.7, I didn't try.
Why not install 2 JREs? I use 1.6 with OOo and 1.7 with everything else.
James.
