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
OK, well do you have an alternative suggestion?
Maybe
"JRE included for all OS versions except Linux DEB and Mac"
That would work if you have to have the same message for all systems. Is
it possible for a different message depending on the operating system
detected?
well anything is possible given enough time and effort...but if you
think this change it OK, I'll put it out there for a final look...maybe
at some point we can resolve this much more nicely, but not right now
I'm afraid.
