Although we still get this nasty alert saying we should install Java… Two things to note: Any JREs that LO shows on Preferences' LibreOffice - Advanced pane must match the bitness of the given LO. So if you run a 32-bit LO it will only show 32-bit--capable JREs. The Apple Java 6 is 32-bit--capable, while the Orcale Java 8 is 64-bit--only. If LO wants to actually use a JRE's JVM (for other purposes than detecting which JREs to show on the Preferences pane above), it does so via the JNI Invocation API. Oracle's Java 7 and 8 for Mac OS X have a bug that causes any process using that functionality to exit abruptly unless the Apple Java 6 is also installed (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74877 OS X 10.9: abrupt exit of LO in JNI_CreateJavaVM w/ Oracle Java 7 and w/o Apple Java 6 for details; Oracle targeted a fix for that only for their Java 9). For LO, that means that it can appear to suddenly crash as soon as it tries to instantiate a JVM and Apple's Java 6 is not installed. And at what time LO will try to instantiate a JVM can be somewhat non-intuitive, e.g., it can happen as soon as you type something into Writer if you happen to have the Wiki Publisher extension installed (cf. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=1e54386411055b0049760faff2e1374a83191913 'Official' TDF Mac builds are done w/o ext-wiki-publisher and links from there for details).

[libreoffice-users] LO and Java 8u25
Hello there, I have a fresh, clean install of OS X Yosemite on my Mac, along with Java 8u25 and LibreOffice 4.3.2.2. I can't make LibreOffice see” Java, as shown on the screen shot below. Any hints to share? Thanks.

The workaround for that Oracle JRE bug is still to install Apple's Java for OS X alongside Oracle's JRE (as one gets prompted to do).
