When I try and select a JRE in OOo options it just doesn't get saved. The panel goes away and next time I open it up I have to select JRE again. I was trying to figure out what the package name for the FSF JRE was to uninstall that as well.

Some users have reported that after an upgrade to hardy, the oopenoffice java configuration file becomes obsolete and doesn't get renewed ($HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml). That leaves java non-working by default in the openoffice shipped with hardy. The proposed workaround is to delete the file, since openoffice recreates it upon restart.

That solved the problem for another user of openoffice base, as can be seen in

Many Thanks Bhavani,

Deleting $HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml fixed
it for me.
