Larry, that's great.  I saw that in a screen shot that showed both of

Please add that link to Bugzilla issue 126130.  If you don't have an

OK, I see Larry has done this.

I took a cursory look at Ariels's Comment 7 also.
It would help if we knew what particular functions of AOO failed without
the use of Java 6.

Many months ago, I tried to get, through additional java flags, what
problems any  of our java code might be causing for java 7 specifically.
Some methods we are using are deprecated, but I didn't interpret these
as show stoppers. However, I will upgrade to Java 8, and run through
this scenario again to see what comes out.

Thanks for all the comments.
Well I follow the LibreOffice development intensively. I can't find the correct bug number right now, but https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44679 seems related: Apple and Oracle (depending on JRE and OS version) change at OS X 10.7 / 10.8 the standard install path and the detection mode. LibreOffice tries now (if i remember correctly) to detect first the old JRE6 path and afterwards the jre7 path - doesn't matter was "java --version" says.

All in all, the mess happens by the Apple to Oracle switch somewhen Oracle overtook the Java development and apple didn't want to maintain JRE any longer (similar to flash, but that's another story)

So try to detect the correct Java version / path esp. if it is a clean install and not upgraded from (e.g.) 10.5 to 10.10....
