So, to recap: the best version of Java we could mention as a workaround
(after saying that Java 7 is supported and more secure, of course) is
"jre-6u23-windows-i586.exe" as found on
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u23-oth-JPR
right?
But then we should write a bit more text with another paragraph to point
explicitely to this specific version when the user needs it. Then the
users can choose themselves:
a) The most recent JRE 6 if they look for security.
b) JRE 6u23 if they need the AOO Base compatibility.
That one is older than the versions that both I (6.32) and Marcus (6.x
current) had put on that page, but since people will go to that page
expecting to find a workaround I'd prefer to mention a version that can
be a workaround for multiple issues (Java not found, Java operations
slow in Base and so on). Andreas in
http://markmail.org/message/w6x6e4dlzgwtfyd7 mentions that 6.22 works,
but if 6.23 is fine too I'd list the newer one.
+1
So, when this is our consensus I will update the webpage on the weekend.

Hi,
Please bear with me. I created some Oracle account to access their
binary attic and went throug a testing parcour on my 32 bit system where
I found out that _something_ must have changed between OOo 3.3 and AOO 3.4:
JRE version Linux i586 (Ubuntu 10.4, AOO 3.4)
6.0.22 good /which is what I used to use with OOo 3.3
6.0.23 good /don't know about OOo 3.3
6.0.24 good /used to be bad with OOo 3.3
6.0.24(open-jdk) good /used to be bad with OOo 3.3
6.0.35(latest) good /used to be bad with OOo 3.3
7.0.4 bad
This is the result for my 64 bit Linux machine:
JRE version Linux x64 (Ubuntu 10.4, AOO 3.4.1)
6.0.24(open-jdk) good
6.0.35 good
7.x bad
So the issue has a clear red line between JRE6 and JRE7.
Hope this helps.
Andreas
