Java Platform Support $[officename] supports the Java platform for running applications and components based on the JavaBeans architecture.

For $[officename] to support the Java platform, you must install the Java 2 Runtime Environment software. When you installed $[officename], you automatically received the option to install these files if they were not yet installed. You can also install these files now if required. The Java platform support needs to be activated under $[officename] to run Java applications. Activate Java platform support by choosing %PRODUCTNAME - PreferencesTools - Options - $[officename] - Java. Before you can use a JDBC driver, you need to add its class path. Choose %PRODUCTNAME - PreferencesTools - Options - %PRODUCTNAME - Java, and click the Class Path button. After you add the path information, restart %PRODUCTNAME. Your modifications at the %PRODUCTNAME - PreferencesTools - Options - $[officename] - Java tab page will be used even if the Java Virtual Machine (JVM, a virtual machine for the Java platform) already has been started. After modifications to the ClassPath you must restart $[officename]. The same is true for modifications under %PRODUCTNAME - PreferencesTools - Options - Internet - Proxy. Only the two boxes "HTTP Proxy" and "FTP Proxy" and their ports don't require a restart, they will be evaluated when you click OK.
