see Olaf mail. In the meantime some Windows users have experienced problems with AOO and Java 7. So far the bug cannot be reproduced, and we don't know for sure how important it is/how many users are affected (regarding the 7 million download, most on Windows platforms, the bug reports are very few, so my assumption is that this bug is reproducible only under very rare and specific circumstances). > -- I might caution against having users download java 6, assuming they > have no java 7, due to security concerns and possibly other > inconsistencies with whatever OS they are using. > > Bottom line -- I'm not sure we should change the java download to > version 6 over 7.

The bug has been reported only on Windows. Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
