Libre Office seems to depend on the openjdk6 package but this package

When i installed the latest updates wich included Libre Office it
removed the jre package in favor of the openjdk6 package.
I have forced pacman to remove to openjdk package and install the jre
and jdk packages instead... and Libre Office works fine (i see no
diffirence at least).

Is there any specific reason for Libre Office to use openjdk6 ? and can
we perhaps change this to jre/jdk instead ?



libreoffice depends on java-runtime, which is no real package. java-runtine is provided by the openjdk6 and jre package, so it does not matter which you use.

I suspected as much when both packages seemed to work :-)
but can we change the Libre Office packages to depend upon JRE instead ?
Openjdk6 is missing a lot of functionality such as browser support, JRE would be a better choice..
