Priority: medium
Bug ID: 83753
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: LibreOffice does not take into account JAVA_HOME and
PATH to select JRE
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: m.wegh...@posteo.de
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Component: Libreoffice
Product: LibreOffice
When the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to be used by LibreOffice is
automatically detected by LibreOffice (e.g. on the first start of the program),
the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables are currently not taken into
account, i.e. they have no effect on the JRE that is selected.
Possibly it would be a good idea to prefer the Java installations which these
environment variables refer to over other Java installations on the system as
they (JAVA_HOME, PATH) generally indicate which JRE should be used on the
system.
Thus, users/administrators can control which JRE is used if multiple JREs are
installed on the system. Therefore, I think this setting should be taken into
account by LibreOffice as well.
It would also offer administrators an easy possibility to set a specific JRE
for LibreOffice by providing a startup script that first sets the JAVA_HOME
environment variable before starting LibreOffice (e.g. in large companies).
