Ah..(slaps self upside of head). I see. I didn't think of that. Good one SnakeDriver. Thanks Shatrat

I ended up creating /etc/profile.local (yes it did not exist) and added the following;

export PATH=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/bin

Worked like a charm on reboot. I was going to use jre 1.4.2, but it did not work with the latest Azureus, so I installed 1.5.0. Both Azureus and jre are 32 bit, and this on an x86_64 install. I also left the 64 bit jre 1.4.2 installed because OO had a dependancy on it. It all works, but don't ask me how .
