Open Office 3.0 Beta

Uninstalled previous versions of Java and installed Open Office 3.0 beta

Database wizards do not work with the Java JRE 6.0 update 6 bundled with the 3.0
beta installation pack for windows .. It seems so. I tried using the wizard on
two different PCs having only JRE 6up6 installed. The form/ table/ .. etc wizard
did not start.. reported an error --> indicating that it cannot be done on the
version of Java installed.

Also, when I tested the version at java.com, the test said that the JRE
installed is a newer version than what is available for download at java site!

So, I installed JRE 6 update 5 on top of JRE 6 update 6 (6 up 6 came with the
OOO 3.0 beta pack). 

The database wizard after that.

This could be a minor issue, but I did not expect that when the JRE 6 up 6 came
bundled.

Hope this can be quickly rectified so that one need not install older version of
JRE for all components of OOO 3.0 to function properly.
