Why do you want to run OO as a service? Are you just launching OO files for view/edit? – Andrew Thompson Jun 06 '11 at 11:27

There is no portable solution to this.
On Windows you can search the registry; see read/write to Windows Registry using Java.
On Linux / UNIX, you can search the default installation directories, though these may vary from one distribution to the next.
