I think the above bug you cited is not a java 1.6 vs 1.7 issue, It's a
"can't find java" issue. I will do some more research tomorrow to see if
there is a really a java 1.6 vs java 1.7 issue. I do remember seeing
complaints about not being able to find java at all -- I would need to
research if indeed there is a java 1.7 issue.
There are many reports of Java 1.7 not working with AOO on Windows. There are many threads on
the user forum about the issue. One thread is
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=54974#p240844
A search on the forum will find many more. The consensus seem to be that AOO Windows requires
the 32 bit version of Java 1.6 in order to work.
The same problem exists with LibreOffice as well. Many reports on their user mailing list about
problems with Java. I think I recall there being problems with Linux as well, but I'm not sure.
I am using a Mac so I can't check any of this out. The latest Java for Macs is
1.6.0_33
