Hi Joachim,
selecting a different JRE is only possible through the options dialog.
would it be a good idea to add such a feature?
Selecting a JRE can be regarded as part of the office configuration. Now
one could argue, that every aspect of the configuration should be
accessible through the commandline. While this may be useful in some
cases, the question comes up as to where to draw the line.
An alternative to add command-line options would be to use UNO bootstrap
variables. Those bootstrap variables could then override the values from
the configuration. However, one has to adapt the options dialog so as to
reflect that a configuration item has been overriden by a bootstrap
variable.
So one should have very good reasons to do that. IMHO it is not worth
the hassle for Java. One should also not try to workaround something in
OOo because some JRE works better than another. There may be a bug in
the respective JRE itself or in OOo's Java framework that has to be
adapted for using different JREs. Better fix the issues there rather to
add more complexity to OOo.
