Hi *, Someone I know from long time ago, asked me also to share the message below.
Cor -------- Original Message -------- The LibreOffice documentation does not state clearly that Java JRE is not included in the LibreOffice download package. Based on the information in the LibreOffice documentation one can assume that Java JRE does not come included with LibreOffice, but, oddly, that information is not clearly stated in the LibreOffice documentation. "Getting Started with LibreOffice 3.3" documentation, page 40: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/cgi_img_auth.php/c/c4/0100GS3-GettingStartedLibO.pdf "Java options If you install or update a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) after you install LibreOffice, or if you have more than one JRE installed on your computer, you can use the LibreOffice Java options page to choose the JRE for LibreOffice to use." That information indicates that with the "Java Options" menu in LibreOffice one can choose which of the installed Java JRE versions to use with the installed LibreOffice (if one needs and wants to use Java JRE, anyhow). That information is mainly applicable to a situation with multiple Java versions installed. (Which, besides, is unwise, given the fact that all older JRE versions have serious vulnerabilities.) But also in case of one single installed JRE, that menu offers the opportunity to choose whether or not to use JRE with LibreOffice. To my opinion, the confusion comes with the section "If you install or update a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) after you install LibreOffice". That can be interpreted as "No JRE is included with LibreOffice, but after you install LibreOffice you can still install JRE or update an old version of Java, if you need or want to." To me that seems to be the most logical interpretation. But just as well one could read that section as "After installing LibreOffice you are free to install a (newer or other) JRE version or to update an older JRE version", without anything said about whether or not Java is included with the Libreoffice download. Therefore, the LibreOffice documentation is insufficiently clear, in my opinion. It would be much clearer if the LibreOffice documentation would explicitly state that Java JRE is not included with the LibreOffice download. This could be mentioned not only in the LibreOffice documentation files, but also at the download page.
