Thanks for the extensive testing, but my experience was related in particular
to the macOS appstore installation of LO which, as I learned in a blog post
rather than on the appstore description of the product, doesn't include any
Java functionality (I didn't realize that the extensions I was testing relied
on Java).

Thus, even with a JDK installed, and which works for LibreOffice downloads for
macOS (currently, I have Eclipse Adoptium 18, with LO7412 macOS Arm), that JDK
will be of no use to the Mac Appstore download of LO.

If Java is the problem, at the very least, the Mac Appstore version of LO
should decline to install any extension that requires Java, or else fail
gracefully, with a corresponding useful message. It shouldn't install it, ask
to restart, and then crash.
