Hi :) Thanks for confirming that the _21 is the best version for LibreOffice. Is there any chance of joining the Documentation Team to write-up the instructions for installing a separate version of Java specifically for LibreOffice? I think a chapter about Java is likely to start off as being very small and it's not clear exactly where it could go but i think once written it could be moved fairly easily.
Alternatively perhaps an Ubuntu Community Documentation page? Either a radical re-write of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java or something more specific to LibreOffice such as creating a new page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Base/Java With a longer-term view of having a single main page about Base that then has sub-pages (such as the Java one) and/or links to proper LibreOffice documentation.

I only run it (but on 4 machines) in Ubuntu. I have no Windows installs. When Ubuntu had 1.6.0_22 as the default, my base worked fine. When the Java 1.6.0_24 update was installed, base became horribly slow. When the 1.6.0_26 update was installed, it was still very slow. Someone in the thread said that in Linux you can have two Java versions installed on a system side by side, and he gave instructions on how to do it. Following those instructions, I've tried both 1.6.0_21 and 1.6.0_22. Base works well with both of them, but is just a tiny bit faster on my systems with the _21 version. When you install the second version as per the instructions this person gave, the older version is only used for LibreOffice. The browsers are still using the latest version, so you have all of the security protection of the latest version. I'm sorry I can't give you advise relative to Windows systems. I don't know if Windows has the same situation as Linux. The problem wasn't that Base didn't run in Linux. It was just very sluggish.
