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.
Thanks a lot for you testing effort. With this information I will
adjust the text like the follwing:
[...]
Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 support Java 7, which is the
recommended configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you
might receive warnings about the Java version being defective. In that
case, download and install [the most current JRE 6 version | link].
Make sure you get the "Windows x86 Offline (32-bit)" file. Then
configure OpenOffice to use it at "Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org -
Java". See [this forum topic | link] for more information.
[...]
With this everybody should be happy, right?
Marcus
I'm only comment, for me AOO 3.4.1 on Windows 64bit doesn't work at all
with Orace Java 7 (32 or 64).
The only option that works for me is to use to Orace/Sun Java 6 32bit on
Windows 64bit.
On Ubuntu 12.04 64bit I'm using 64bit openjdk6-jre 64 bit and everything
works (i didn't try jdk7).
Thanks for your comment. Exactly this should be the message in the text
I want to update.
Marcus
Marcus, I think the changes you recommended are fine. As for me, I don't
know "tests" Andreas are running, but I'm on java 7, 1.7.0_04, and
really no issues with anything I've done.
We need more enlightenment on this, but your changes should suffice.
