Subject: [tdf-discuss] LibreOffice and Java Security:

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct list for this message.
I recently read this article about a Java 1.7 Security Problem.
Does this problem concern LibreOffice and Java???
This macrumors article post and reads that this problem effects java
versions 4-7. At the moment oracle are at java 7.

The Forbes article reveals that Mozilla, and Apple are advising users to
disable Java on there machines because of this security problem.

Can I use LibreOffice without Java enabled on my computer?? As I receive
annoying pop up windows when I first use libreoffice to install Java on
Apple OS X Mountain Lion.
