Known Problems

  1. The office window does not get keyboard focus.


  1. The office window does not get keyboard focus. This happens when using gtk on Linux/Solaris and a Sun JRE 5, Sun JRE 6, JRE 6 u1.

    This should work now with an OOo 2.4 (starting from SRC680m227) and a Sun JRE 6 u2. When using OOoBean in a Java applet which is displayed by a web browser, then it is necessary to add an entry in the Java Control Panel of the JRE (jre_dir/bin/ControlPanel). Select the "Java" tab and press the "View" button in the "Java Applet Runtime Settings" section. In the "Java Runtime Parameters" column add -Dsun.awt.xembedserver=true. One could also do this programmatically. For example in java.applet.Applet.init one could add:

    System.setProperty("sun.awt.xembedserver", "true");
    

    However, this must be done before the OOoBean is used.

    When running a stand-alone java program, one can either add -Dsun.awt.xembedserver=true as argument when calling java or set the propery within the program before the OOoBean is used.
