[upstream] [MASTER] With Java disabled, repetitive popup.

Did it work after openoffice.org-java-common was installed and the program run again? You have to restart openoffice.org after installing that package for it to take effect. The fact that it crashes without the java packages installed probably can't really be fixed.

It works after openoffice.org-java-common is installed.

However the package is not installed in a default Hardy installation. OpenOffice does not really crash, there's just no way out of this alert box. You can hit "ok" a million times and the alert box will reappear over and over again. All you can do is kill OO with a high chance of data lost.

Why is this bug 'Triaged'?

The bug already has an upstream bug attached and upstream have discussed what is wrong with the program. Thus it is good enough to be treated as triaged.

same here with OO3.1 Writer - standalone package in ubuntu karmic. The JRE not available window loops forever.

[This is an automated message.]
There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
