It seems you must have the correct version of Java and dependencies installed.[http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org/msg16179.html] However, it is not clear which version should be installed, as Sun's and GCJ's Java are both reported to give problems.  On Ubuntu, the problem can be caused if the <code>openoffice.org-java-common</code> package is missing (i.e. not installed).
