I theory (and practice) Java 7 works, though there are some users reporting it does not work for them: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119525 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119993 I couldn't reproduce any of them, Java 7u5 works fine on Windows XP 32 bits, and Windows 7 64 bits; OpenJDK 1.7.0_03-icedtea works fine on Fedora 17.
