Hi :) The 6u21 is the best version. After that Oracle started making java increasingly incompatible. The _22 is still quite good, about as good as the _20. I think _23 works but _24 starts being a bit of trouble. I don't know if there has been a serious study on this but a few people have tested a few versions of java on a few different OSes but it would take a lot of hunting through the archives to gather the data. Regards from Tom :)

See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39659 [Java 1.7.0 not recognised] and http://java.com/en/download/faq/java7.xml You might want to comment regarding the startup failure on 39659. IMO LO should not fail the startup regardless of java version (or no java at all). -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
