Link on the download page "Java and Apache OpenOffice" https://www.openoffice.org/download/common/java.html Page with sections: - "Why Do I Need Java to Use Apache OpenOffice?", - "Which Java Version Do I Need to Use Apache OpenOffice?" - "Where Can I Get Java?". Is that a good starting point? Regards, Czesław Am Di., 29.
