Java Runtime Engine is proprietary software owned & distributed by Sun. As such
I don't think it is on the Mandrake disks. There is an Open Source equivalent
of java (kaffe) bundled with Mandrake. How compatible this will be with OO I
don't know. You may be able to point OO at this instead of the official JRE if
you have installed it.

Type
 java --help
& it should run /usr/bin/java, & say it is actually kaffe & give you basic
instructions in invoking it.

If you need it, JRE is free, and can be downloaded & installed if you need it.

Click on J2SE JRE here to download...
