Re: [libreoffice-users] Java broke on LO 5.1 on Macs

[Rob Jasper]

The goal of the JRE is, as the name Java Runtime Environment says, that it 
should be sufficient to run Java functionality.
In all discussions I miss why LO needs more then the runtime environment...
We should work to bring LO in the boundary of of the JRE.

Funny, I have been using LibreOffice 5.1 since Beta 1 on two different
MacBooks without any issue. Only if I use a wizard LibreOffice asks for
Java, otherwise the program runs fine (no Java installed on one Mac). I
will look if anyone has filed a bug.

I think you need to install 32-bit or 64-bit Java as appropriate to 
match LibreOffice. You can install both on a 64-bit system, so that both 
32-bit and 64-bit applications can use Java.


Wasn't there something a while back about LibreOffice on Mac not 
recognising Java 8 unless Java 7 was also installed, or something like 
that? I don't know if that's still the case; I don't have a Mac so 
haven't followed it closely. From what I recall I think it was a bug in 
Java, not something LibreOffice could do anything about.


Mark.
