That is Oracle's take. In reality > 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. No, Oracle must fix the JRE, or Apple must correct OS X Java system calls. Until then, LO for tdf#94716 now requires use of the unaffected JDK -- at the expense of OS X users now having to install the JDK rather than a broken JRE to access the Java runtimes. See Oracle's notes: http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7131356 The LibreOffice details are in tdf#74877 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74877> and tdf#94716 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94716> LibreOffice has no skin in the game beyond running the Java based HSQLDB for Base internal database--and when we fully move to FireBird very little requirement for Java going forward. Java runtime -- from a JRE or JDK becomes irrelevant to the project. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Java-broke-on-LO-5-1-on-Macs-tp4174830p4175356.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
