you need to set to up env vars in you .bash_profile file or /etc/profile

JAVA_HOME=JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0
PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin
export JAVA_HOME PATH

I have found that things like staroffice 5.2 that supposedly look for a Java 
installation are finicky about which version/brand of java you use. So even 
though they find your java environment they don't use it.
