"JRE is Defective" is an awful and unhelpful message in any language.
There is no programmatic basis for claiming that as a fact, and the software certainly does not have a way of determining it. The requested remedy is pretty opaque to ordinary users too. I suggest that this be modified somehow. It appears that this message arises because a 32-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required for some functions. Somehow, there needs to be some sort of link or help that explains what functions matter and what to do to enable them. That's what users care about. Since the message is limited in length and must translate easily, it seems something like "A 32-bit Java Runtime (JRE) is needed for some operations. See <helpful URL>." I assume the URL would not need to be translated, and browser sniffing could take care of language there. That does mean the openoffice.org site needs a place with short URL for dealing with this. Too much work? If someone holds my hand, I'm happy to help with that. I think user-sensitive Forum folk like Rory will be indispensable in vetting understandability and utility of the result. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rory O'Farrell [mailto:ofarr...@iol.ie] Sent: Tuesday, December 9, 2014 23:22 To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Java 32 [ ... ] Here is the message as quoted on the en-Forum "JRE is Defective No Java installation could be found Please check your installation" [ ... ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
