Hello, all...
I made a very quick modification at :
http://website.openoffice.org/tryouts/Kay/kayindex.html
that might help with this.
Yes, it kind of messes up our lovely design, but perhaps it will
stem some of the irritation I and others have been experiencing.
Just click in the green downarrow download area, and hopefully the
new message will show up.
When I click it I see:
Download now!
Start downloading OpenOffice.org 3.1.0 for Mac OSX Intel in US English
(Java runtime, JRE, normally included)
This is wrong. Java is never included in the Mac version.
OK, well this is why I used "normally"...maybe I'll change this to
"typically". Really, there is no ONE solution for all versions. This
is part of the problem I think.
This is the verbiage on the main DL page
"Include the Java JRE with this download (This option is not available
for Linux DEB and Mac OSX)"
Right now, when I change my agent to use Mac OSX I don't get any
additional information indicating I SHOULD have a jre to use OOo.
So...how do Mac folks cope with this or...is the assumption that they
have it? I'm sorry if all this sounds dumb but I really don't know
anything about Mac configurations.
Macs automatically come with Java installed. Updates come from Apple,
since they build there own versions of Java.
Having that indicator (Java runtime, JRE, normally included) will only
confuse people new to Macs and/or OO.o
