Java Media Framework classpath and Openoffice 2.0

Hi, I am struggling to get movies inserted in presentations with the
development snapshots of openoffice.org 2.0. In the new OOo version,
they've switched the media capabilities over to the Java Media Framework.
A description of this is at:
http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/media_player/MediaPlayer.sxw
to get movies/sounds working, you need to install a JRE and the Java Media
Framework. As part of the Java Media Framework install, you need to set
the CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the relevant directories, as
detailed here:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/setup-linux.html
When I try the diagnostic applet linked to there (after restarting
mozilla), I get:
JMF classes.....Not Found
There seems to be a lot of people reporting troubles in getting the Java
Media Framework working with Linux on various lists, but I have not come
across any solutions. Since this is an integral part of the new OOo 2.0
release, which will eventually become part of Fedora, I am wondering if
anyone has had any success in getting the JMF applets to work with Fedora.
Specifically, if you install JMF and try out the applet:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/jmfdiagnostics.html
does it work for you with Fedora?
