------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 9 06:08:38 -0700 2005 ------- In OOo 1.1 it is not necessary to have the JRE to run OOo Basic macros, or attach Basic macros to a picture, or to a Toolbar button, or to an hyperlink. In OOo 1.9 it is still not necessary to have the JRE to do all this BUT the user will be bothered by numerous stupid messages. Even one warning message would not be acceptable, because in fact JRE is not necessary even with the current design. Is it so difficult to simply squeeze these messages and continue? The same useless messages appear if the user wants to run a Python macro. It is not a problem of switching off the JRE option, it is that a lot of users simply don't have the JRE and don't want to have it (they have old PC with few memory or they can't download JRE or they dislike it). The fact that, after numerous warning messages, you are nevertheless able to do what you want without JRE, could be assimilated to obtrusive popup advertisements from Sun marketing. I prefer to consider this as faulty design. Even with JRE, the first time you open Tools > Macros > Run Macros the panel show after a delay inexistent in OOo 1.1. This is because Java has to be needlessly loaded. So the bottomline is : it should be possible to run Basic or Python macros without JRE and without any JRE warning message. Just like OOo 1.1. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
