To generate the javarc file, use this listing posted by sd on the OpenOffice Documentation Project forum site (using Pico or your favourite text editor to cut and paste from here):
[Install] ExcludeVersion=1.1.7b 1.1.7B 1.1.8 1.2.2 1.3.1 1.3.1_02 AdditionalClasspath= VerifiedVersion=1.3.1 1.3.1_02 RequiredVersion=1.3.1 InstallationPath=. [Java] Home=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home VMType=jdk Version=1.3.1 RuntimeLib=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/JavaVM JavaLibPath=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries SystemClasspath=/usr/local/java Java=1 JavaScript=1 Applets=1You will note that the listing refers to Java 1.3.1. This will work as is. I do not know if changing it to Java 1.4.1 will work with OpenOffice.org1.0.1 - I suspect it will not (if 1.4.1 is installed on your machine, it exists side by side with 1.3.1 in Mac OS X and both are available). However, changing the reference in the javarc file to Java 1.4.1 works for me with OpenOffice.org1.0.3 - this latest version is available from trinity.neooffice.org.
OpenOffice.org help contains details as to setting up a database connection via JDBC.
