OpenOffice 3.0 on Ubuntu Hardy

I have battled with this problem today and just wanted to share the solution. The OpenOffice packages provided by Ubuntu Hardy are version 2.4.1 and they have a big font problem when writing in German. At https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive one can find new 3.0 packages of OO.o, but after installing them Zotero stops working (freezes OO.o).

Solution: Make sure you have a Java Runtime Enviroment installed AND have it detected correctly by OO.o 3 in the "Options" section. After that the integration works again.
