OOo 2.0 and Sun Java 1.5?

I'm trying to get OOo to recognize and use Sun's JRE on FC4 but I
can't quite figure out how. I've built and installed JDK 1.5.0 RPMS
using the SRPM from JPackage.org. When I open the Java options dialog
in the OOo settings it recognizes the FSF 1.4.2 JRE, but if I try to
"Add.." another JRE I just can't figure out what OOo wants to see.
What directory/files is it looking for?

Also I'm a bit surprised that OOo doesn't find the Sun JRE in /usr in
the first place. /usr/bin/java symlinks to /etc/alternatives/java
which again is a symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java (I've
tried adding /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/ in OOo without success).

Any pointers appreciated!
