Finally hit a problem!

I just came across this thread introduction in an Oracle forum:

I have 20 + years Oracle background...but hit a problem.

So, apparently, everything was fine for the first 20 years, and then... boom, a problem. Must be nice. :-)

JRE is defective for OpenOffice

I was getting this message when I tried to create tables in a new OpenOffice DB I'd just created:

"The selected JRE is defective".

I googled about a bit, and something said to set the JRE path in OO. So I went to "Tools -> Options -> Oracle Open Office -> Java" and saw this:

Everything looks good... it has the Java installation listed, and highlighted.

Well, stupid me, it is listed, but it is not selected. So I clicked the little circle on the left to select it, click OK, and all is well.
