Yes you are able to get copies of the earlier JREs.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html

It takes a little "effort" to find it, since they do not want you to install the older ones.

Although they have version 6 update 29 as the newest, they do not have update 28 in the archive.

You have to create an account with Oracle though.

To be honest, if you run Linux, I prefer to use whatever the "default JRE" is. I went to the Package Manager and searched for "JRE" and I saw the package called "default JRE".

If you run Windows, or Linux, and do not want to create an account with Oracle, I have most of the Windows versions downloaded, and could download the Linux ones. Then I could send the ones you need via an off-list email.

Hi :)
OpenJDK is also run by Oracle and suffers about the same. I'm not sure about the best version numbers numbers for that either. I don't know if the community that work hard on that are able to free it from Oracle in the way that TDF freed LibreOffice from them.
I don't know if it is still possible to get a copy of the older version of java 
from the Oracle website.  You used to have to register at their site to get 
them.

Java dependence is being written out but you still notice slow-downs in 
wizards, some Extensions, the embedded database (best to use a separate 
back-end such as Postgresql) and when starting-up LibreOffice

Hi Tom,

I'm using 6u92 :-) But with OpenOffice it's fast. Any hint?

Presently I don't have installed LibreOffice, so I can't do some experiments,
but any guess if I use openJDK?

Regards,
Lívio Cipriano
