Priority: medium Bug ID: 66014 Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: Mac OS X 10.8: LibO cannot be used with Oracle Java 7 (64-bit) and no Apple JDK pre-installed Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: Mac OS X (All) Reporter: fuchs_fr...@freenet.de Hardware: Other Status: UNCONFIRMED Version: 4.1.0.1 rc Component: Libreoffice Product: LibreOffice If you run Mac OS X 10.8 (no upgrade to previous OS X version!), then there is no pre-installed Java (previously, Apple shipped its own version of Java 6). You are supposed to install Java from Oracle's web site. These days, this gets you a 64-bit Java 7 (current version 7u25) as Java 6 is no longer supported and, more importantly, receives no further security updates. Java 7 for Mac OS X is only available as a 64-bit version. Installing any version of LibO 4.x, including 4.1.0.1 RC, then leads to the situation that LibO cannot find and cannot use the installed Oracle Java 7 (e.g. LibO options - extended does not list it). This leads to a number of problems in LibO, esp. apparent when you hit a LibO functionality that requires/uses a Java runtime. Installing an old Java 6 version is no option, as you willingly would have to accept its unresolved securtity issues. Either LibO cannot work with 64-bit Java on OS X (which then needs to be fixed since there is no longer a supported 32-bit version) or it cannot find the installed Java due to the fact that the Oracle installation is different from Apple's former own Java pre-installations in older Mac OS X versions and LibO relies on this specific environment. Or both are issues. Further note: Installing the JDK (versus the JRE) does not help. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
