+<h3>Why Do I Need Java to Use Apache OpenOffice?</h3>
<p>Java is required for complete OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) functionality.
Java is mainly required for the HSQLDB database
engine (used by our database product Base) and to make use of accessibility
and assistive technologies. Furthermore some
wizards rely on Java technology. See additional topics pertaining to the use
of Java in OpenOffice.org and Apache

+<h3>Which Java Version Do I Need to Use Apache OpenOffice?</h3>
+<p>You will need to have a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) version (32-bit or
64-bit) that is compatible with the architecture of the Apache OpenOffice
version you downloaded. If you already have a JRE installed on your system that
satisfies this requirement in one of the standard areas for Java installation,
OpenOffice should detect this installation and let you choose it for use in
OpenOffice via the <strong>Tools-> OpenOffice.org -> Java</strong>.

+<p><em>Apache OpenOffice for Windows note:</em></br> The Windows version of
OpenOffice is 32-bit and requires a 32-bit JRE. You must install a 32-bit JRE
even if you already have a 64-bit JRE installed.</p>
+<h3>Where Can I Get Java?</h3>
<p>The current versions of Apache OpenOffice work reliably with a variety of
JREs including
<a href="http://java.com";>Oracle Java, versions 6 and 7</a> and <a
href="http://openjdk.java.net/";>openJDK, versions 6 and 7</a>. Feel free to
download a JRE
from either of these sites if you feel you need this functionality. </p>
