Java (x86_64) not installing correctly

Hi,

I searched the forums with no luck. When I try to install j2re, pacman install it apparently ok but OOO doesn't see it neither Firefox but this aside the weird thing is this:

If I do a "pacman -S j2re" again it doesn't warn me that it is already installed but if I go ahead it says "upgrading" and not "installing."

If I do a "pacman -R j2re" it says it's "could not find j2re in database" but IT IS "installed".

Any idea?

Thanks.

Java works well as my azureus runs fine

j2re has been renamed to jre. Firefox will never see it as there's no java plugin available for 64bit. thanks sun

OOo is still in an experimental state and was probably built with gij.

I've just installed Azureus and works ok, you are right. For now I disabled Java in OOo.

Thanks Andy.
