Title:
  [hardy] OOo Base will not connect to MySQL using JDBC

Status in openoffice.org package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  I recently had to reinstall Ubuntu, but before I did so, I backed up
  my MySQL databases. When I did the reinstall, I decided to upgrade
  from 7.10 (Gutsy) to 8.04 (Hardy). I reinstalled MySQL, OpenOffice
  Base, libmysql-java and the Java JRE, but when I try to set up OOo to
  connect to my MySQL database using JDBC, I get the following error
  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 did that and have two JREs to choose from: Sun Microsystems Inc.
  1.5.0_15 (location: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.15/jre) and Sun
  Microsystems Inc. 1.6.0._05 (location:/usr/local/bin/jre1.6.0_05). The
  first one is from the Ubuntu repository and the second is a local
  install from Sun's website. I have tried selecting first one, than the
  other, each time going through the Database Wizard and coming up with
  the same error message each time.

  Also, I tried to select one JRE, closed the dialog box, reopened Tools
  - Option - OpenOffice.org - Java without closing and no JRE was
  selected.

  This is really getting highly annoying since I am using OOo Base as my
  front end for data entry to my MySQL database for work. If I can't
  connect to the database, I can't enter data and that leaves me in a
  major bind.

  I have the following installed:

  libmysql-java version: 5.1.5+dfsg-2
  sun-java-bin version 1.5.0-15-0ubuntu1
  sun-java-jre version 1.5.0-15-0ubuntu1
  openoffice.org-Base version 1:2.4.0-3ubuntu5
